Is Phyllo Pastry totally terrible

  • for you? I love cooking with it and am becoming more creative with it. I hope that it's okay in moderation.

  • Phyllo pastry isn't unusually high in calories if it is eaten as it is in the package. It has 73 calories and a half gram of fat per sheet (25 grams, about an ounce). As such, it should be eaten in moderation.

    I've never used phyllo without buttering the sheets, though, and that can do terrible damage, lol. Do you use it without buttering it?
  • well, here's a link you can decide for yourself lol.

    If you're a fat counter, or even a calorie counter, then it (by itself) doesn't look to awful horrible to me... but if you count your carbs then uh oh.... also I suppose it's what you put between the layers, how many layers you actully use, and what you are filling it with too..... soooooooooooooooo I can't answer for your plan, but I think I'd stay away.
