What is this food?
Creme custard is a sweet dessert made with creamy custard (usually milk/cream and eggs) and sugar. It’s typically eaten in small portions after meals or as a snack.
Why it matters to health
Per 100g, it has 228 kcal with 41.4g carbohydrates and 38.1g sugar, plus 4.3g fat (with 2.25g saturated fat) and 57mg cholesterol. This means it can be enjoyable, but it’s best to keep portions small—especially if you’re also having rice, bread, or other sweet snacks in the same day. It’s also low in fiber (0g), so it won’t keep you full for long compared to meals with fruits/vegetables and whole grains.
Healthier tips
- If you want creme custard, pair it wisely:
- Keep the portion small (think a few spoonfuls) so it doesn’t crowd out your main meals.
- Choose it as a snack instead of adding it on top of another sweet item—aim for 1 sweet treat per day at most.
- Balance the rest of your day: include protein and fiber at meals (e.g., fish/chicken/eggs plus vegetables) so your blood sugar response is smoother.
- Watch frequency: enjoy it occasionally, not every day.
- If available, go for less-sweet versions or share with family to reduce sugar intake.
