% DV refers to how much a single serving of an individually packaged food or supplement contributes nutritionally to your daily diet, based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Generally, having 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low, and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.
Fat Composition

FAQ
Cheese croissants are high in calories, carbs, fat and saturated fat (118 calories, 13.35 g carbs, 5.94 g fat, 3.02 g saturated fat respectively), but low in protein and fiber. Therefore, they are not considered healthy due to their high saturated fat (15% of daily value).
Yes but it should not be a staple in their diet due to a high amount of carbs (13.35g) and low fiber (0.74g). Most of the carbs are easily digestible (simple carbohydrates) which can spike blood glucose level more than usual. If simple carbohydrates is to be eaten, adding complex carbohydrates like whole grains, legumes and fiber can help to reduce the glucose spike.
No it is not, but cheese croissants contain a lot of carbs (13.35g). This makes it a simple carbohydrate without a lot of high fiber ingredients to slow down on their glycemic impact. Compared to something like a sourdough whole grain wheat bread where the 180 minute glucose incremental area under the curve was lower, a cheese croissant is unlikely able to provide the same benefit.
A 1 oz cheese croissant has 102.52 mg sodium and 3.02 g saturated fat, which is 15% of the daily value for saturated fat, which is not ideal if you have high blood pressure. For high blood pressure, a DASH diet is recommended alongside lower sodium intake.
