Chocolate Iced Donut Nutrition Facts
Calories and nutrition facts are based on a single serving measured as one doughnut.
The percentage daily value (%DV) illustrates how much a specific nutrient per serving contributes to a daily diet of 2,000 calories (the standard measure used by the FDA for adult nutrition guidance). Your calorie needs may be different.
Calories
Let’s start with an overview of the calories, including a breakout by macronutrient (i.e., fat, carbs, and protein).
A single glazed donut with chocolate icing has 240 calories.
More than half of the total calories are derived from carbohydrates (which includes sugars). Dietary fat makes up about 42% of the total calories and the remaining 4% is from protein.
- Fat: 100 calories
- Carbs: 130 calories
- Protein: 10 calories
- Total: 240 calories per donut
The summary of calories by macronutrient above is a rounded estimate based on the nutrition facts provided by Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.
Dietary Fat
Each donut has 11 grams of total fat, including 5 grams of saturated fat.
SUMMARY OF DIETARY FAT PER SERVING
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.
Total Sugars
As mentioned above, the 33 grams of carbohydrates contribute about 54% of the total calories. Carbohydrates include 20 grams of total sugars.
About 80 calories are derived from sugars, which is 33% of the total calories in one doughnut.
SUMMARY OF TOTAL SUGARS
According to the FDA, “added sugars are a nutrient to get less of“. A key reason it’s a good idea to be mindful of how much added sugars is consumed is because foods with high added sugars may provide energy, but they typically lack essential nutrients such as fiber and vitamins. That’s known as “empty calories.”
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.
