There are various recipes for amlou, the two main ones being almond and peanut.
Since a product's caloric intake is totally dependent on its ingredients, it's a good idea to look at the calorie count on the product you're buying.
In the case of our amlou, which is made with almonds, argan oil and orange honey, we can count at around 593 calories per 100 grams.
How many calories in an argan oil amlou?
As said before, our amlou which is produced with argan oil contains around 593 calories per 100 grams. This can also vary depending on the honey used, ours being orange tree honey.
We could also have estimated the same recipe but using peanuts instead of almonds, equivalent foods from a calorie point of view. This type of almond would be around 590 calories.
How many calories for an amlou with sunflower oil?
Sunflower oil is a much lower-quality ingredient than argan oil. As a result, this type of recipe will quite logically increase the price of the product.
However, we'll have a fairly similar calorie level with per 100 grams:
- The almond recipe will contain 583 calories .
- The one with peanuts will contain 588
Beyond the calories, what is the glycemic index?
Calorie intake is a major indicator in weight monitoring, to be checked periodically so you can adjust your diet.
But we mustn't neglect the other indicators that also have their impact, which is very significant when we talk about Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load.
For an amlou recipe, regardless of the ingredients contained and cited above, we end up with a Glycemic Index of 60 for a Glycemic Load of 12.
