Coach's take: is Muesli healthy?

  • ●Muesli is calorie-dense, so portions add up fast at 355 kcal per 100 g. About 74% of its calories come from carbs, 11% from protein and 15% from fat.
  • ●Most of its calories come from sugar, which digests fast and won't keep you full. On a fat-loss diet, keep it occasional and count it. 1 bowl (40 g dry) adds 142 kcal.
  • ●It's low in protein (4 g in 1 bowl (40 g dry)), so if you're building muscle, pair it with dal, paneer, curd, eggs or chicken.
  • ●Much of its carbohydrate is sugar (15 g per 100 g), so treat it as an occasional food rather than a daily staple.
  • ●It's high in fibre (8 g per 100 g), which helps digestion, fullness and steadier blood sugar.

To burn it off: 1 bowl (40 g dry) (142 kcal) takes about 28 min of brisk walking or 13 min of running for a 70 kg adult.
