Dancing with the donuts. How many Kcals in Krispy Kreme Donuts?

If you're planning on enjoying an original glazed donut, it will cost you about 200 calories.

If you like yours topped with chocolate icing, add 50 more kcals.

What about sprinkles on top of the chocolate icing? Add an additional 10 calories.

And if you're like me and you love the varieties that are filled with custards or creams, then we'll be going upwards to 300 calories...and beyond. Bummers.

We have posted our data chart below which provides the kcals, carbohydrate and fat gram content of some of the most popular donuts at Krispy Kreme.

Can You Enjoy Donuts & Still Lose Weight?

If you're trying to lose weight does that mean that you can't enjoy a tasty Krispy Kreme donut? No way!

The key is keeping energy values in check.

Weight Gain is the Result of Too Many Calories - Regardless of the Food Source

Weight gain occurs whenever our caloric intake exceeds our required caloric intake.

Distribution of Spare Calories

Any spare kcals that the body doesn't use - even if the calories are derived from an innocent head of lettuce, are stored in our fat cells. Even when the excess is from an innocent cucumber.

When there is no room in the Fat Cell Hotel, then more are created and the result is the building of more layers of body fat.

This sure doesn't sound like a place where most of us would want to stay, does it? Much less, even visit.

Speaking of Fat

Krispy Kreme's original glazed donut contains 12 grams of fat.

Many cuts of meat contain far more fat grams than this donut; however - they also contain essential vitamins and nutrients that our body needs to be the best that it can be.

Cream Equals More Energy Values

Let's get back tot he creamed varieties. The donut selection which is highest in caloric values in our data chart below is the cream filled variety which is topped with chocolate icing. It tastes terrific but keep in mind that you can enjoy almost two original glazed for about 50 more Kcals.

Of course - you wouldn't wish to do that because you're trying to lose, not work toward gaining.

And while one dough wad can assist in satisfying a fierce craving two will contain too much saturated fat - as well as other unhealthy fatty acids for your plan.

While fat grams shouldn't be ignored, a donut enjoyed in moderation shouldn't damage your healthy weight loss plan. In fact, most diets fail when favorite foods are removed.

So enjoy every now and then, just don't go ape or your bathroom scales will tell the truth.
