- Milk type → whole milk adds more fat than low-fat
- Size of puffs → larger puffs = more calories per piece
🥗 Health perspective
- These are moderately high in fat due to butter and eggs
- Not very high in sugar unless heavily topped
- Provide some protein from eggs
- Best as an occasional treat, not an everyday snack
💡 Ways to make them lighter
- Use less butter (reduce by 20–25%)
- Switch to low-fat milk
- Skip sugary toppings or use a light dusting
