Danish pastry has 22 g fat per 100 g from laminated butter dough. At 400 kcal per 100 g, it is one of the most calorie-dense breakfast choices. The fruit or cream fillings add sugar that varies widely between styles. A single danish typically weighs 70–120 g — weigh once to set your log.
How should I track Danish Pastry?
Danish Pastry is a good source of iron. Bakery products like Danish Pastry 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.
