Jam doughnuts are fried dough products with a jam filling. The figures here describe samples from branded and own-brand products. They mainly provide carbohydrate and fat: per 100g, they contain 48g of carbohydrate, including 20g of sugars, and 13g of fat, including 5g of saturated fat. They also contain smaller amounts of protein and fibre.

Carbohydrate and fat provide energy for the body. The sugar and saturated fat content are points to note for people monitoring these nutrients in their diet.
