BAKED BEAUTIES

The Saints

Pure wholegrain croissant Calories 273, saturated fat 8.9g, sugars 2.7g, protein 3.3g, salt 0.7g Croissants should never be an everyday option due to high levels of saturated fat and not much satiating protein, but this wholegrain croissant has the same amount of fibre as a thick slice of wholemeal bread. Pret breakfast muffin Calories 430, saturated fat 2.5g, sugars 19.6g, protein 9.2g, salt 0.7g Muffins are normally packed with sugar and saturated fat, but here seeds, carrot and apple supply more than a quarter of your daily fibre and more protein than a boiled egg. That high-calorie content is worth bearing in mind throughout the day. Pret pretzel Calories 304, saturated fat 0.8g, sugars 3.4g, protein 9g, salt 1.7g When eaten with a piece of fruit and a skinny latte, a pretzel makes for a relatively balanced breakfast that’s surprisingly high in protein due to strong, high-gluten bread flour. Watch out for that salt content, which is relatively high.

The Sinners

Eat ham and emmental croissant Calories 513, saturated fat 18g, sugars 5g, protein 24g, salt 2g This provides 90 per cent of the daily limit of cholesterol-raising saturated fat, equal to seven teaspoons of butter, and a third of your blood pressure-raising salt. A risky combination for long-term heart health. Costa chocolate twist Calories 396, saturated fat 11.7g, sugars 27.2g, protein 6.1g, salt 0.5g Unsurprisingly, a chocolate pastry doesn’t make for the best start to the day – with nearly 60 per cent of your daily limit of saturated fat and as much free sugar as twoand-a-half Kinder eggs.
