Common Questions About Lumpia Nutrition
Is lumpia high in protein?
Lumpia contains a moderate amount of protein, providing 5 grams per serving (typically one roll). While it's not a high-protein food, the protein content largely depends on the filling, as lumpia made with meat or tofu may contain slightly more protein.
Can I eat lumpia on a keto diet?
Traditional lumpia is not ideal for a keto diet as one serving contains around 20 grams of carbohydrates, primarily from the wrapper and fillings. To make it keto-friendly, you could use a low-carb wrapper or substitute it with lettuce.
What are the health benefits or concerns of eating lumpia?
Lumpia can be a source of protein and some fiber, depending on the ingredients. However, traditional lumpia is often fried, which adds extra fat and calories (190 calories and 10 grams of fat per serving). Consuming it in moderation is important, especially for individuals monitoring their fat or sodium intake, as it contains 300 mg of sodium per roll.
How many lumpia should I eat in one serving?
A typical serving size for lumpia is 1 to 2 rolls, depending on their size and your overall calorie needs. Eating 1 roll provides 190 calories, so pairing it with nutrient-dense sides like vegetables can help balance your meal.
How does lumpia compare to spring rolls?
Lumpia and spring rolls are similar, but lumpia is typically Filipino and can be fried or fresh, whereas spring rolls are often associated with Vietnamese or Chinese cuisine. Nutritionally, fried lumpia tends to have more calories and fat than fresh spring rolls, while fresh spring rolls may be lower in calories but higher in fiber when filled with vegetables.
