Introduction
Twisted dough sticks (mahua) generally have a high calorie content. As a deep-fried food, mahua is a carbohydrate-rich food high in fat, thus containing substantial calories. Especially when filled with stuffing, the calorie count can exceed 600 kcal per 100 grams. Because of its pleasant taste, mahua may easily lead to overconsumption, resulting in excessive calorie intake and weight gain.
Twisted dough sticks generally have a high calorie content.
Twisted dough sticks are made from ingredients such as flour, salt, and sugar, and are prepared by deep-frying. They are carbohydrate-rich foods with relatively high fat content, containing approximately 500 kcal per 100g, making them quite calorically dense. When filled with ingredients like condensed milk, lard, or nuts, the calorie count can exceed 600 kcal per 100g. Due to their pleasant taste, twisted dough sticks may easily lead to overconsumption, resulting in excessive calorie intake and weight gain.
Individuals who are overweight, trying to lose weight, or those with elevated blood glucose or lipid levels should generally avoid or limit their consumption of twisted dough sticks.
