Two doughnuts make a 539-calorie snack
A single glazed doughnut weighs 64 g and carries 269 calories, about 13% of the daily value. The doughnut hole is the smallest portion on the menu math at 13 g and 55 calories. A large 75 g doughnut lands at 316. Size matters, but count matters far more.
Doughnuts rarely leave the box one at a time. Two come to 539 calories, three reach 808, and five hit 1,347 calories with 1,011 mg of sodium. Protein barely keeps pace: five doughnuts still deliver only 19.6 g, which is why a box can disappear without anyone feeling fed.
If you want the taste without the full hit, holes are the easiest lever. At 55 calories each you can count exactly what you eat instead of committing to a whole 269. BodyPal can log the doughnuts from a photo, which helps when a shared box makes the tally fuzzy.
Fat supplies about half the calories
The calorie split is 49% fat, 46% carbs and just 6% protein. Per 100 g that works out to 22.7 g of fat, 47.9 g of carbs and 6.1 g of protein. This is the profile of fried, sweetened dough: fat and carbs share the load almost evenly, and protein is a rounding error.
Sugar sits inside those carbs. A glazed doughnut has 14.6 g of sugars out of 30.7 g of carbs, and 100 g holds 22.8 g. The glaze is a big part of the appeal and a big part of the sugar line.
Fiber is thin at 1.3 g per doughnut, and protein at 3.9 g covers 8% of the daily value. With so little of either, the doughnut adds energy and not much else. Treat it as a calorie line on its own rather than something that pulls nutritional weight in your day.
Saturated fat is the row to watch
Per 100 g the doughnut has 9.5 g of saturated fat, set against a daily value of 20 g. That is close to half the day's figure in a portion not much bigger than a large doughnut. Total fat per standard doughnut is 14.5 g, against a daily value of 78 g.
Sodium is milder than the fast-food label suggests. One doughnut has 202 mg, 9% of the daily value, and a large one has 237 mg. It only becomes notable by the box, with five doughnuts carrying 1,011 mg.
Cholesterol is low at 30 mg per 100 g, against a daily value of 300 mg. If you track one extra row for this food, make it saturated fat. Sodium and cholesterol only matter here when the doughnut count climbs.
Treat it as dessert, not breakfast
One doughnut at 269 calories works fine as a planned treat. As breakfast it falls short: 30.7 g of carbs and 14.6 g of sugars arrive with only 3.9 g of protein, which leaves the morning light on anything that lasts.
If a doughnut is part of your morning anyway, put a protein source next to it, such as eggs or Greek yogurt, and keep the coffee unsweetened so the sugar line does not double. Having it after a meal rather than in place of one tends to make a single doughnut feel like enough.
These figures describe the plain glazed doughnut from the USDA row. Varieties on this page such as Krispy Kreme Glazed Doughnuts With Kreme Filling, Krispy Kreme Chocolate Iced Glazed Doughnuts or Krispy Kreme Glazed Lemon Filled Doughnuts are different products, so log them as their own entries rather than as an Original Glazed.
How does Krispy Kreme glazed doughnut compare?
Here is the glazed doughnut next to a Costco muffin, a Costco croissant and 6 piece Chicken McNuggets, compared per 100 g and per usual serving.
Verdict: Skip the Costco muffin, which runs 630 calories a serving, and if you want a bakery treat the Costco croissant at 272 calories for 67 g is the closest match to a doughnut. For staying full, the McNuggets win clearly with 15.8 g of protein per 100 g for 287 calories a serving.
