Calories in a Croissant:

croissants are generally high in fat and calories. They are not a diet food. They are very good though!

The USDA calculates 272 calories in a large butter croissant. Starbucks sells a butter croissant that weighs in at 440 calories.


In recent years, an increasing number of Doctors have recommended that in order to lose weight, foods like Croissants that contain a lot of flour ought to be on the chopping block. At least for the time it takes to get your body back into balance.

The No Flour No Sugar Diet is the most extreme expression of this sentiment, however it is one that seen in many other places as well.

One of the most interesting new assertions by the medical community is that consumption of wheat leads to stomach fat, and that when you reduce wheat in your diet your "wheat belly" starts to go down.

For those of you following the Weight Watchers Points Plus system, Croissants are high in carbs and low in protein and fiber.

For those of you following the PEERtrainer Cheat System, Croissants are something you need to count. We'd note that if you are eating a diet high in greens, and you are "eating from the left" then feel free to enjoy a well made croissant from time to time.

We find that when people get good at "eating from the left" they find that they have a lot more wiggle room to enjoy certain foods. To download your free copy of the Cheat System, click here.
