Fats and Sugars

One bite-sized glazed donut has 3 grams total fat, including 1.5 grams saturated fat.

The FDA recommends limiting calories from saturated fat to less than 10% of total calories. The 1.5 grams of saturated fat per serving is 8% of the recommended daily limit (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).

Saturated Fat and Calories

It’s important to remember that the amount of each nutrient is based on a single measured serving size. If you eat more than one glazed Munchkin, calories from saturated fat increases proportionately.

Review the following summary of total saturated fat (in grams) and approximate calories from saturated fat based on different quantities of Munchkins:

  • 1 Munchkin has 1.5g saturated fat (15 calories)
  • 3 Munchkins have 4.5g saturated fat (40 calories)
  • 5 Munchkins have 7.5g saturated fat (70 calories)
  • 9 Munchkins have 13.5g saturated fat (120 calories)

Sugars

Carbohydrates make up half of the the total calories. Of the 7g total carbs in a single donut hole, there are 3 grams added sugars.

Added Sugars

Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest limiting calories from Added Sugars to 10% or less of total calories. If I follow a 2,000 calorie diet, then I should not eat more than 50 grams added sugars (200 calories).

Note: Added Sugars refer to the sugars (e.g., dextrose, sucrose, syrups, table sugar) that are added during the processing of food. By comparison whole foods, including milk and fruit, contain sugars that are naturally present.
