Doughnut calories compared with walking
1 doughnut medium (approx 3-3/4" dia) of glazed doughnut (64 g) contains approximately 269 kcal. For a 75 kg adult, that’s about 73 active minutes of walking above resting energy.
That’s roughly 3.7 miles. 3 mph, level ground.
This is a medium glazed doughnut weighing 64 g. The USDA record also lists smaller doughnuts and holes. Filled or heavily iced doughnuts need their own nutrition values.

Sources and calculation
Food data: USDA FoodData Central record 172758, SR Legacy April 2018, imported October 9, 2026. Original description: Doughnuts, yeast-leavened, glazed, enriched (includes honey buns). Energy: 421.0 kcal per 100 g.
Activity intensities: Walking, code 17190; Running, code 12030; Cycling, code 01020 from the 2024 Adult Compendium. Net kcal/min = (MET − 1) × 3.5 × weight in kg ÷ 200. Active minutes = food kcal ÷ net kcal/min. Values are rounded after calculation.
