Turkey: Calorie Intake and Weight Management
The calorie-content of Turkey is low. So
if you are interested in following a calorie-controlled diet in order
to normalize your body weight, regular consumption of Turkey is fine.
Also, remember that increased calorie expenditure balances increased intake,
and helps maintain an efficient metabolism.
Calorie Counting Has Limits
Although it's important to know the calorific
values of meat like Turkey, in order to be aware which ones are especially
calorie-dense, the nutritional value of food is also important. Some carbohydrate
foods and essential fats may be higher in calories but even so are very
important for your health and weight.
Please Note: Calorie values for Turkey are
approximate only.
