BEST TIP OF WEIGHT LOSS EGUSI SOUP

Today, we would analyze egusi soup and its calorie content, and all about egusi soup and weight loss. It has both good and bad sides.

The basic Egusi Soup enriched with few chunks of stockfish and two pieces of meat contains a total of roughly 700 calories per serving!!! Imagine eating it with about 3 wraps of iyan which is about 600 calories..........

The largest food group it contains is Fat. Egusi is very high in fat content. It has about 60% fat. Talk less of we Yorubas that love adding lots of palm oil to our egusi soup.

It also has about 11 percent carbohydrate of which 0 percent is fibre which is supposed to be good for weight loss. Proteins make up 30 percent while other elements make up the rest.

But that's not all, Egusi actually has good qualities.
