What is this food?
Doughnut (fried) with sugar. It’s a sweet, fried pastry that’s high in calories and sugar, and it also contains fat (including saturated fat).
Why it matters to health
Because it’s fried and sweet, doughnuts can add a lot of energy in a small serving. The total fat and saturated fat can be higher than what we need daily, and the sugar (34.6 g per 100 g) can make it easier to exceed recommended added sugar—especially if you have it often as a snack. It also has sodium (404 mg), which can add up across the day. On the positive side, it provides quick energy, but the fiber is relatively low (1.5 g), so it may not keep you full for long. That’s why it fits best as an occasional treat, not a regular snack.
Healthier tips
- Portion first: If you’ll have doughnut, keep it small—think 1 small piece or share with someone.
- Pair it smart: Have it with water or unsweetened tea, and add a fruit or yogurt on the side to improve fullness.
- Balance your day: If you eat doughnut as a snack, make your next meal lighter (more veggies, lean protein, and rice in a controlled portion).
- Choose better options when you can: Look for baked versions, less sugar, or smaller sizes.
- Frequency: Aim to keep it occasional so your 3 full meals and 1–2 snacks stay balanced.
