We know that the more calories a meal has, the more it causes weight gain.
Meals with high calories lead to diabetes, obesity and excessive weight gain, but this is not to say we should stay clear of calories.
Our body needs calories for energy. However, the serving and proportion make the difference.
These are some Nigerian meals that are high in calories;
Semo
Semo is an easy swallow to prepare, it is one of those fast meals made when you want to feel filled v, but do you know it is packed with calories? They are 360 calories in 100 grams of semo.
Fufu
Made from fermented cassava tubers, fufu is also packed with calories; 100 grams of fufu has about 156 calories.
White bread

Beans
Beans are a high energy food with high-calorie content. 100 grams of beans contains a whopping 347 calories.
