A standard donut typically contains around 200 to 300 calories. For example, a plain glazed donut averages about 215 calories (between Dunkin's 240 and Krispy Kreme's 190 calories). Cake donuts and old-fashioned varieties tend to have calories in a similar range, roughly 226 to 310 calories depending on size and ingredients. More indulgent donuts with fillings or heavy frosting can have higher calorie counts, sometimes exceeding 400 calories per donut.
