✦ High fat from deep frying
✦ High free sugars from icing and dough
✦ ~300 kcal per doughnut
✦ Minimal nutritional value
Iced ring doughnuts are deep-fried yeasted or cake-type dough rings, finished with a sugar glaze or icing. They are very high in fat (from deep frying) and free sugars (from the icing and dough), typically providing 380–420 kcal per 100g. A single doughnut (~75g) contributes around 285–315 kcal. They offer minimal nutritional benefit beyond energy.

Preparation note
Best treated as an occasional indulgence. The combination of refined carbohydrate and fat means these are rapidly digested and may not satisfy hunger for long. Enjoy alongside a protein-containing food if having as a snack.
