Donuts are actually not that high in calories, unless you fill them with cream and put icing on them. Plain glazed donuts are sometimes lower in calories than the 'healthy' muffins the same restaurant sells. Here in Canada, where Tim Horton's is the go-to donut place, I remember reading their calorie counts and their Cranberry Blueberry Bran muffin was higher in calories than their 'old fashioned glazed donut'. The donut IS higher in fat though.
