About Cream puffs, prepared from recipe, shell (includes eclair)

This entry is the choux-pastry shell itself — the hollow, egg-and-butter pastry that forms the basis of cream puffs and eclairs — before any filling or glaze is added. Choux is made by cooking flour into a butter-and-water paste, then beating in eggs, which is why the plain shell is rich in protein and fat but barely sweet at all.

Per 100 grams the shell carries about 362 calories, with roughly 26 grams of fat, 23 grams of carbohydrate, and a notably high 9 grams of protein from all those eggs. Sugar is almost nonexistent here — under half a gram — and the sodium is fairly high at over 500 milligrams per 100 grams, reflecting the savory pastry base rather than a sweet one.

Keep in mind that this is only the shell. A finished cream puff or eclair is filled with pastry cream or whipped cream and often topped with chocolate or sugar glaze, which adds a large amount of sugar and fat on top of these numbers. On its own, the choux shell is closer to a savory pastry than a dessert.
