I am planning to celebrate Christmas with KrispyKreme Doughnuts. If I buy a box of original glazed doughnuts is the calories for the whole box or one doughnut each.j42cftihep1d.jpeg

    Yummy yummy. Weigh it and eat it. I have a KK literally up the road from me and holy heck but does it smell good when they open up the drive through window.

    372 Cal per 100g per your kitchen scale.

    About 193 Cal for a mythical 53g single donut

    You're not going to find a dozen donuts for 193 calories. Not even donut holes. So there's your answer.

    Serving size - 52g

    Amount per serving - 193 calories.

    Pro-tip - a serving is not a whole box.

    Come on, it is perfectly reasonable to expect that the calories are for the box! Everyone KNOWS that the outside of a package ALWAYS tells you exactly how many calories are lurking inside! If you ever doubt this, just carefully check out a Kellog's Pop Tart Package or a Larry and Lenny Cookie!

    Does that mean that the calories listed on the box of cereal are for the whole box? Excellent!! Here I was diligently weighing out 45 grams ....

    A) The calories would be for 52 or 100 grams of each donut. Read the label.

    B) With all the great Christmas food available out there, you're going for donuts??? And poor quality donuts at that???

    KrispyKreme Doughnuts is selling Christmas themed doughnuts in my area. KrispyKreme Doughnuts is actually the better ones out there than the cheap supermarkets. What’s wrong with KrispyKreme!!!

    those calories are for plain doughnuts though, not festive ones?

    Good catch! Double those calories for that thick layer of sugar they trowel onto the festive donuts.

    Why does no one think to download the nutrition guide???

    A santa belly btw (taken from the guide) is 433 calories......that's just so jot worth it.

    You’ve seen other posts by the OP, right? That’s quite a stretch.

    I assume there is more than 1 doughnut in the box.
    The label says 1 serving is 56 g (has to be one doughnut as a dozen would weigh much more). They give nutritional information per serving.
    Weigh your doughnut if you like but it is pretty safe to say that a serving is not the whole box of doughnuts.

    Deceptive thread title. Calling it "Christmas foods" then asking about Krispy Kreme donuts is basically a bait and switch. The screenshot wasn't even for their "holiday theme" donuts, but for the Original Glazed kind.

    But to the original question, the serving size listed on the box is for an average sized original glazed donut of 52g, it does not apply to any of their other varieties. This is logging 101, verify your information!

    So if the box had six glazed donuts at 300 g that's 1116 calories.

    Of course, the specialty donuts are much more...I found an example on the Krispy Kreme site for comparison. One 90g donut is 360 calories! Eat that six donut box at 540g and you're at 2160 calories.

    Isn't Christmas usually cake sandwich time? I think that's what the 3 wise men were eating -- carb loading for their travels and all that.

    I wonder what happened to cake sammich guy, he's been unusually quiet. Like a ghost.

    I don't know, there's some pretty angry ghosts rattling on out there.

    OP, look up the accurate NI, and use that to determine how many calories. Or do like many of us and assume that Christmas meals will = eleventy billion calories and start tracking again the next day.
