Dietary Fats and Sugars
Each donut has 11 grams of total fat, including 5 grams of saturated fat. That is high.
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.
Saturated Fat
Dietary Guidelines for Americans, published by the Department of Health and Human Services, recommend limiting calories from saturated fat to 10% or less of total calories.
Each doughnut has approximately 45 calories from saturated fat. That’s high for a single serving. It equates to a 25% daily value.
SUMMARY OF FAT PER SERVING
Total Sugars
As mentioned above, the 33 grams of carbohydrates contribute about 54% of the total calories. Carbohydrates include 20 grams of total sugars.
SUMMARY OF SUGARS PER SERVING
According to the FDA, “added sugars are a nutrient to get less of.”
A key reason to be mindful of how much added sugars is consumed is because foods with high added sugars may provide energy, but typically lack essential nutrients such as fiber and vitamins. That’s known as “empty calories.”
Note: 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
