Dietary Fat
One strawberry frosted donut with sprinkles has 12 grams of total fat, including 5 grams saturated fat. The amount of saturated fat is considered high.
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.
Saturated Fat
Dietary Guidelines for Americans, published by the Department of Health and Human Services, recommend limiting calories from saturated fat to no more than 10% of total calories.
Each donut has approximately 45 calories from saturated fat. That accounts for 17% of the total 270 calories per serving.
Moreover, the amount of saturated fat in this donut is a quarter (25%) of the recommended limit of saturated fat for an entire day (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).

Total Sugars
As mentioned above, the 37 grams of carbohydrates contribute about 54% of the total calories. Carbohydrates are comprised of 16 grams total sugars.
Added Sugars
Those 16 grams of total sugars include 15 grams of added sugars.
As you will see from the ingredients listed below, the donut is made with multiple types of added sugars. Specifically, the strawberry icing contains sugar, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, maltodextrin, and dextrose.
In addition, sugar is listed as the first ingredient in the rainbow sprinkles. The order of ingredients is important because the FDA requires ingredients be listed in order of dominance by weight.
According to the FDA, “added sugars are a nutrient to get less of“. A key reason for that suggestion is because consuming foods with high added sugars may provide enough energy, but lack essential nutrients, fiber, or vitamins. That’s known as “empty calories”.
One strawberry frosted donut has about 60 calories from added sugars. That’s 22% of the 270 total calories per serving.
While sugars are found naturally in various fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, added sugars refer to the sugars that are added during the production of commercially processed foods. Added sugars include sucrose, dextrose, syrups, and honey.
