Almost no one can deny the sweet, succulent call of a Krispy Kreme doughnut but people on a diet or trying to lose weight might want to stick with just the original glazed doughnut from the said store.  

One original glazed from Krispy Kreme will cost 200 calories, reports Calorie Lab. It costs five weight watcher points for people following that diet. Calorie Lab describes the glazed doughnut at Krispy Kreme as low in cholesterol and low in sodium. However, it is quite high in sugars and trans fats. 

In fact, Calorie Lab reports that most Krispy Kreme doughnuts are low in cholesterol and sodium but high in sugars and trans fats.   

Meanwhile, Calorie King states that the original glazed is only worth 190 calories and suggests some ways of burning it off. A 50-minute walk could burn off the 190 calories, as well as a 22 minute jog. For more adventurous people, 190 calories can be burned in a 16-minute swim or a 26-minute bike ride.   

After the original glazed doughnut, there are several other doughnuts at Krispy Kreme under 300 calories, states Calorie Lab. The Glazed Cruller doughnut only costs a little more calories than the original glazed at 220. It is worth 5.5 weight watcher points. 

The next highest Krispy Kreme doughnut in terms of calories is the Maple Iced Glazed which will cost around 250 calories. In the weight watcher's program, it is worth six points. 

Meanwhile, the Chocolate Iced Glazed with or without sprinkles is worth 260 calories. The one without sprinkle costs 6.5 weight watcher points, while the one topped with sprinkles costs only six points. 

At the far end of the 200-calorie mark are the following Krispy Kreme doughnuts worth 270 - 290 calories, respectively: the Cinnamon bun, the Glazed Lemon Filled doughnut, the Cinnamon Apple Filled, and the Glazed Raspberry filled.  

The Krispy Kreme doughnuts worth more than 300 calories are the following: the Chocolate Iced Kreme Filled; the Chocolate Iced Custard Filled; Glazed Kreme Filled; the Glazed Chocolate Cake; Caramel Kreme Crunch; the New York Cheesecake; the Pumpkin Spice Cake; the Key Lime Pie; and the Strawberry Shortcake.  

Take note that only one of these doughnuts are equivalent to 300 calories or more. The doughnut at Krispy Kreme with the most calories worth 400 is the Cookies and Kreme Doughnut.  

It is probably best to order Krispy Kreme doughnuts worth 250 calories or less to lose weight or keep in shape.
