The number of calories in a donut can vary widely depending on the type, size, and ingredients used. Here’s a general breakdown:
Standard Donuts:
- Glazed Donut:
Roughly 200-300 calories per donut. - Chocolate Glazed Donut:
Around 250-350 calories. - Cake Donut (plain or glazed):
Typically 300-400 calories.
Specialty Donuts:
- Filled Donuts (with cream, jelly, or custard):
Usually 300-500 calories, depending on the filling and size. - Fried Donuts:
Can range from 300 to 500 calories, often on the higher end due to the oil used in frying.
Mini Donuts:
- Mini Donuts (like the ones often sold in boxes):
Around 50-100 calories per mini donut.
These are averages, and the calorie count can fluctuate based on ingredients and preparation methods. If you’re watching your calorie intake, it’s always a good idea to check the specific nutritional information, especially at donut chains or specialty shops.
