Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Croissant

Metabolic Effect: Croissant provides quick energy due to its high carbohydrate and fat content. However, it can rapidly raise and lower blood sugar, which can cause sudden hunger pangs.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming croissant alone, it is a more balanced option to consume it with foods containing protein and fiber (e.g., with cheese and vegetables). This helps keep blood sugar more stable.
Things to Consider: Portion control is important for those who pay attention to weight control due to the high calorie and fat content of croissant. One croissant may have the same calories as about 2 slices of bread and some fat.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from one croissant, it is necessary to walk at a moderate pace for about 40 minutes. Alternatively, 20 minutes of fast-paced running can provide the same effect.
