Peanuts vs Makhana: Who is ahead in the weight loss race? (Image Source: AI-Generated)
Lifestyle Desk, New Delhi. Do you also have a craving to eat something 'crunchy' with evening tea? We all go through that moment when we feel a little empty in our stomach and we open the box and start looking for something. In such a situation, we often have two most popular options – desi peanuts and crispy makhana, but if you are trying to lose weight, which of these would it be wise to choose? Come, let's solve this puzzle.
Peanuts have been a part of Indian households for centuries. It is called 'Powerhouse of Energy'.
In the last few years, Makhana has become the most favorite snack of those who want to lose weight.
What is better for weight loss?
If we directly talk about weight loss, then Makhana wins.
The reason behind this is very simple, if you eat a bowl of Makhana, you will feel full and will get very less calories. At the same time, to get the same number of calories, you will have to eat very few peanuts, which may not fill you up.
If your goal is just to lose weight quickly, then roasted makhana is your best friend, but if you need more energy to work throughout the day and you go to the gym, then eating peanuts in limited quantity is also a great option.
