Carbs and Fiber in Dunkin Donuts Croissants Food Item: Dunkin' Donuts Plain
Croissants Dunkin Donuts Croissants and DietNot permitted on low carb diet plans, croissants (like Dunkin Donuts Croissants) are typically high-calorie foods (often high in fat) with little dietary fiber or nutrition. Also, some croissants are high in refined white flour (refined carbs), thus quite high on the Glycemic Index, which means they can cause a rapid rise in blood-glucose levels, leading to excessive insulin production and a sudden drop in blood sugar. The longer-term health effects of eating high-GI foods include obesity and other symptoms, known collectively as insulin resistance syndrome. Bottom line: if you want to lose weight and stay healthy, keep your intake of croissants and other refined white-flour carbs to a minimum. And if you must eat a croissant, choose one made with whole wheat or wholegrain flour. For more details about carbs in croissants, see below. Note: Nutritional values in croissants and similar refined white flour bread-snacks can vary, so the above carbohydrate details for Dunkin Donuts Croissants are intended as a guideline only. |
