Particularly rich in sugar and fat, this bakery pastry is very high in calories. Good to know if you watch your diet or want to lose weight.
We all know that bakery pastries are foods high in sugars and fats best eaten occasionally for breakfast. However, they are not all equal in terms of calories and some are real energy bombs! If you want to indulge yourself with a pastry in the bakery, without exploding your daily caloric intake, here are the ones to favor and avoid.
Among the pastries with the lowest calories, we find raisin bread (333 calories per 100g), apple turnover (338 calories per 100g) and Viennese bread (356 calories per 100g). At the top of the ranking of the most caloric pastries: pain au lait (382 calories per 100g), pain au chocolat (423 calories per 100g) and almond croissant (446 calories per 100g).
The almond croissant, the most caloric bakery pastry
Composed of croissant dough and almond cream (often made with butter, eggs, sugar and ground almonds), the almond croissant is the most caloric bakery pastry of all. For 100g, count 14g of sugar and 36g of carbohydrates. This is why nutritionists often advise against opting for this type of food when you want to lose weight.
In a video published on Tiktok, doctor Jean-Michel Cohen also vetoes pain au raisin, which is very high in sugar and a little heavier than other pastries, and on palm, which also contains a lot of carbohydrates.
