Fresh coconut water has about 51 calories per 100 milliliters, making it a low-calorie drink. However, after processing, coconut flour's calorie content increases significantly. Tests show that 100 grams of coconut flour contain around 465 calories, while 100 grams of cooked rice only has about 115 calories. This makes coconut flour relatively high in calories.
Whether eating coconut flour will lead to weight gain depends on the amount consumed. If you only eat a small amount and your total calorie intake remains within your daily needs, it won’t cause weight gain. However, if you consume coconut flour along with other foods and your overall calorie intake exceeds your expenditure, it could lead to weight gain.
Coconut flour has a relatively high calorie, carbohydrate, and fat content. If you consume only a small amount in a day, and your total intake is less than your total expenditure, it won’t result in weight gain.
However, if you eat a large amount of coconut flour or combine it with other high-calorie, high-fat foods, your total intake could exceed your daily expenditure. This excess can convert into fat, accumulating in the body and potentially leading to weight gain.
