Croissants pack 21 g fat per 100 g from laminated butter layers. A portion study (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013) found 50–200% weight estimation errors for calorie-dense baked goods because visual size poorly reflects energy content. The lamination process traps fat between sheets of dough, so a large croissant can exceed 300 kcal. Weigh yours once to calibrate all future logs.
How should I track Croissant?
Bakery products like Croissant vary more than you would expect — even pieces from the same batch can differ by 25–50 g. Research on portion estimation (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013) shows that people are particularly bad at estimating baked goods because size, density, and moisture all vary. The simplest fix: weigh a few pieces with a kitchen scale and you will quickly learn what your usual portion actually weighs. This one-time calibration makes all future logging faster and more reliable.
