At least 200 calories, depending on the kind of donut. The following link
has all of the nutritional info:

The calories in a glazed yeast doughnut are 200, 11g fat, 23g carbs, 4g
protein, and 2g fiber. Yesterday, for the first time since my surgery a
year ago, I took one small bite of one yesterday and dumped - I'm the queen
of dumping, so I avoid them like the plague.
You can find all kinds of food counts on www.calorieking.com. They have
tons of counts for homemade foods as well as restaurant foods.

Yes, too many!! Especially from sugar! One little bite of a KK would send
my straight down the dump!

krispy creme doughnuts helped me to get fat to start with and why in the
world would I want to have this life-threatening surgery and go back to
eating them. DUHH

Delores-- the poster just asked a simple question. If you choose not to
eat donuts, that's great. But your reply was somewhat derogatory in my
opinion. Some people want to be normal. Normal people very occasionally
indulge in sweets.

Inga...but we are not normal. We will never be normal - despite our outer
appearance. Like Michelle Curran says - obesity is a disease and we are
merely in remission. Krispy Kreme and other sweets are a slippery slope.
Too many times have I heard from female posters who have one Hershey
miniature during days at "that" time of the month. Well, that
one miniature became two and four and so on... The best thing to do is to
stay away from the trigger foods altogether...JR

barbara Ann. I certainly did not mean to be mean to you. I would never do
that. I love these doughnuts. As John so nicely put it, we are not normal
people, were not before surgery and are not now. A recovering alcoholic
would not think of taking a drink. We are "recovering obese
people". We have to make lifestyle changes and for ALL of us that
means not eating our "trigger" foods. A certain percentage of us
regain some if not all of our weight and I believe it is the people who
continue to try to eat "normal" even if it is only a small
amount. So again, I am sorry if I have offended you. That was not my
intention and it was also not my intention to start a controversery(sp).
This is why i do not post much anymore. There is always someone eager to
start something out of nothing. Please accept my apology and good luck

OK, John, but that's assuming everyone is a carboholic. There are some
people who can eat an occasional donut and not turn it into a slippery
slope. Perhaps this poster is one. However, it doesn't matter why the OP
asked the question -- it was a simple question that requires a simple
answer like the first posters. No need to editorialize, etc. That's all I
was trying to say. I do not try to stir things up, and will refrain from
making comments in the future since I obviously upset Delores.

For future reference, fitday.com and calorieking.com have a large database
of a variety of foods so you can check out the nutrition info. And to the
posters below- I know some of you said you don't post as often b/c comments
can be taken out of context or confusion happens. And like this one, it got
cleared up. Don't ever feel like you cannot post, we all have our opinions,
and sometimes they aren't always positive, but thats what makes this site
so great, b/c we are free to express them. So, I guess I'm just trying to
say keep posting and don't get discouraged. People like me (now 1 year
post-op) wouldn't have gotten this far w/o the support (positive and
negative alike) of people like you guys. Goodluck to you all :-)

First an answer....about 200 calories....I can eat half of one. A
comment....lets just answer the questions and not editorialize or argue
....please....we are all in this together and often I have asked questions
such as this and got bombed too. It does hurt. (open RNY distal, 165lbs
lost, 2 lbs to goal, 5'3")

AMOS MOD HERE! Lets all be nice:)<P> True there are some perfect
members here who will NEVER eat a donut or other food ever again. More
power to them. I personally believe moderation is important. If I crave
something long enough I will eat it and move on. Thats better than binging.
Pre op I would of eaten 1/2 of the dozen. Now one is enough. Sadly I am NOT
perfect. A postie once said there dinner before a support group meeting was
a HO HO. I didnt attack them, life gets in the way sometimes. I crave
chocolate under stress:( Its a fact of life for me. Not happy or proud,
just must do the best I can. I am HAPY for the ones with more willpower
than me but lets treat each other nice, THANKS AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!
