About Croissant
A French laminated buttery pastry; high-fat and high-carb.
Health Benefits of Croissant
Flaky pastry = layers of butter
Croissants are ~406 kcal per 100g. The flakiness comes from rolling and folding lots of butter into the dough (butter is 25-50% of a standard croissant's dough weight), creating crisp outer layers and an airy interior. One standard croissant (~60g) is about 243 kcal.
Breakfast pairing advice
A croissant + a black coffee + an egg-white combo is ~300 kcal with moderate carbs and good protein/fat. Adding ham and cheese for a croissant sandwich adds ~100-150 kcal. To cut calories, swap in wholewheat bread part of the time.
