Despite its reputation for making delicious but fatally unhealthy donuts, Krispy Kreme's offerings are actually healthier than the donuts at Starbucks. The nutritional value of Starbucks' donuts allegedly varies from region to region -- they use different suppliers in different areas -- but at least here in New York, Starbucks is actually more unhealthy than both KK and Dunkin' Donuts.
Let's look at the numbers. KK's apple fritter weighs in at 380 calories and 20 grams of fat. Not exactly a shot of wheatgrass, I realize, but the Starbucks apple fritter has 490 calories and 22 grams of fat.
How about the Starbucks glazed old fashioned? It's got 480 calories and 23 grams of fat, compared to 280 and 18 for the Dunkin' Donuts old fashioned.
