• Great nutritional balance!Although Okonomiyaki has the image of being high in calories, in fact, one Okonomiyaki is only about 570 kcal. That's less than 1/3 of the amount of caloric intake required by a female clerical worker. This means that making Okonomiyaki one of your daily meals is actually a great way to take in the proper number of calories you need. And, since flour is used as the base ingredient, Okonomiyaki has further merit in being a truly filling dish. Of course, that flour contains both carbohydrates, used by the body as an energy source, and protein, which builds blood and muscles. The further addition of various ingredients mixed into the batter means that Okonomiyaki supplies you with a variety of nutrients in the appropriate balance. |
