Tag: Kimchi diet

On average, a typical serving of Korean kimchi stew, or kimchi jjigae, can contain between 200 and 450 calories, but this can vary drastically depending on the specific ingredients and preparation. The final calorie count is heavily influenced by the type of protein used, such as fatty pork belly or leaner canned tuna, and whether it is a homemade or restaurant dish.

According to a study involving over 100,000 participants, men who ate three servings of kimchi per day were less likely to be overweight and have less belly fat. However, eating too much can have adverse effects, raising the question of whether a kimchi-only dinner is a healthy choice.
