Pain au chocolat and croissants often sit on our breakfast or brunch tables. They have an almost similar nutritional composition.
There are 250 to 300 calories for a pain au ch chocolateat and 230 to 270 for a croissant. They are only saturated fats and fast sugars, they do not offer any vitamins, fibers or minerals to the body. The fast sugars in both foods cause a blood sugar peak, a sudden increase in blood sugar levels, says Angélique Plier, dietitian nutritionist.
