FAQ
It can fit weight loss fairly well, especially because it is relatively filling for the calories. Per serving, it has about 321 kcal, 15.85 g carbs, 5.42 g protein, and 4.37 g fiber, so the fiber may help fullness, but the 28.34 g fat means the oil adds a lot of the calories.
Zucchini is naturally low in calories because it is mostly water and has relatively little fat or starch. The extra calories in this dish come much more from the sauteing oil than from the zucchini itself, which is why the serving reaches 321 kcal while still having only 15.85 g carbs.
Cucumber with peel is lighter, at about 8 kcal and 1.9 g carbs per 0.5 cup slices, while sauteed zucchini with garlic has more nutrients and fiber, with about 321 kcal, 4.37 g fiber, and 72.99 mg vitamin C per serving. If you want the lowest calorie option, cucumber may be better, but if you want a more filling cooked vegetable side, zucchini may be healthier.
It may be especially helpful for the immune system and skin, mainly because of its vitamin C. One serving provides about 72.99 mg vitamin C, which is roughly 81% of the daily value, and vitamin C helps with immune function, collagen formation, and antioxidant protection.
It may be better to avoid it, or keep the portion smaller, if you are trying to limit sodium, fat, or high FODMAP foods. One serving has about 2,359.12 mg sodium and 28.34 g fat, and garlic can trigger bloating in some people who are sensitive to FODMAPs. If you often get digestive symptoms after garlic, this guide to the low FODMAP diet may be useful.
