Dietary Fat

A single cinnamon donut has 20 grams of total fat, including 9 grams saturated fat. That is high.

Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest limiting calories from saturated fat to no more than 10% of total calories.

Saturated Fat

Each donut has about 80 calories from saturated fat alone, approximately 25% of the total 330 calories per serving.

The amount of saturated fat in this donut has a 45% daily value. That means one serving contains 45% of the FDA-recommended limit of saturated fat for an entire day (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).

Note: Saturated Fat is usually solid at room temperature. According to the FDA, the human body naturally makes saturated fat and does not need to get the nutrient from foods.

Total Sugars

Carbohydrates contribute about 55% of the total calories. Total carbs include one gram fiber and 13 grams total sugars (all of which are added sugars).

Added Sugars

Added sugars include sugar, cinnamon sugar, and dextrose.

According to the FDA, “added sugars are a nutrient to get less of.” A key reason is because consuming foods with high added sugars may provide enough energy, but lack essential nutrients, fiber, or vitamins. That’s often referred to as “empty calories”.

Note: While sugars are found naturally in various fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, added sugars refer to the sweeteners such as honey, syrups, and sucrose added during the production of foods.
