Question 1

Is custard bun healthy?

Accepted Answer

Not when eaten in excess. Per bun, it has about 279 kcal, 38.6 g carbs, 13.9 g sugar, 11.2 g fat, and 6.2 g protein but it is fairly high in sugar, saturated fat, and sodium for one item.

Question 2

What is the nutritional value of a custard bun?

Accepted Answer

Per bun, a custard bun has about 279 kcal, 38.6 g carbs, 37.5 g net carbs, 13.9 g sugar, 1.0 g fiber, 6.2 g protein, and 11.2 g fat. It also has about 6.6 g saturated fat, 61.8 mg cholesterol, and 348 mg sodium.

Question 3

Is a custard bun high in sugar?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It has about 13.9 g sugar, and nearly 6.2 g of that is added sugar, so a lot of the sweetness is coming from the filling and dough rather than naturally occurring sugars.

Question 4

Is a custard bun bad for diabetes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A custard bun contains high amounts of carbs that can raise blood sugar, especially if eaten on its own, and the low fiber, at about 1.0 g per bun, means there is not much to slow the rise. If you have diabetes or use glucose-lowering medication, a dietitian or healthcare professional may help you decide whether a smaller portion fits your plan.

Question 5

Is eating a custard bun worse for you than ice cream?

Accepted Answer

The custard bun is heavier than regular vanilla ice cream in several ways. One bun has about 279 kcal, 13.9 g sugar, and 6.6 g saturated fat, while 0.5 cup of vanilla ice cream has about 149 kcal, 17.0 g carbs, 14.3 g sugar, and 4.8 g saturated fat, so the bun is higher in calories and saturated fat, while the ice cream is similar in sugar.
