| How do excess calories from croissants convert into fat? Are croissants Healthy to Eat? |
Croissants! Croissants, are tricky because they don't look that bad calorie wise but back in1995 a group of researchers wanted to see which foods were most satiating to do that they evaluated 38 foods separated into six categories fruits, bakery products, snacks carb rich foods, protein rich foods, and breakfast cereals each of the foods was fed to groups of people in a portion size of about 240 calories after that the scientists took a satiety rating from the participants every 15 minutes over a total of 120 minutes then after 120 minutes they were free to eat as much as they wanted from a standard range of foods and drinks to evaluate how satiating each food was the scientists calculated what they called the satiety response curve for each group which they compared to white bread was given a satiety score of 100 which means that if food scored higher than 100 it would be more satiating than white bread and if it scored lower it would be less satiating ultimately the results indicated that out of the 38 foods they evaluated croissants were found to be the least satiating they scored 47 on the satiety index making it less than half as satiating as white bread which already is a low satiety food in other words if you eat croissants it maybe toughs for you to control your calorie intake which is why this food can be highly fattening now if you're looking for an alternative carbohydrate to croissants the study indicates that you may want to try potatoes as those were found to be seven times more satiating than croissants;
CONCLUSION! Whenever you eat food the calories and nutrients that you take in are used to power your brain repair broke down muscle tissue and provide energy for all your cells and organs to function however once your basic energy needs are met all the excess calories are then converted to fat.
