Losing weight and cookies
To provide insight into how many calories are in a cookie, cookie and pastry, the calorie tables below are included. You can read here that a ladyfinger and a milk biscuit contain the fewest calories, but did you know that baking your own cookies is much healthier, even though you often use butter. Butter may have a reputation for being unhealthy, but it is much healthier than the factory fats used in ready-made cookies from the store. In addition, baking cookies yourself has the advantage that you have the choice to use even healthier and low-calorie ingredients such as whole wheat flour, liquid butter and sweetener instead of sugar.

Losing weight and cookies
Losing weight and cookies generally don’t really go together. Cookies are packed with calories. If you were to consume one pink cookie (Glacé), you could compare this with 120 strawberries. In addition to calories, cookies contain a lot of saturated fat. Saturated fat is bad for your health and also increases cholesterol. In this way, saturated fat increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Even though saturated fat is bad for your health, it is impossible not to consume saturated fat. If we assume a Dutch diet, 10 energy percent saturated fat is the lowest share thought possible.
