dsd	Found this website with some of the worst breakfasts a person can eat. Both doughnuts and Cinnamon rolls were in the worst category for being fatty and sweet (link below): Doughnuts: All doughnuts are not created equal. “Cake” doughnuts can have twice as much fat as “yeast” doughnuts. And a chocolate or coconut coating or frosting is worse than other coatings, whether it’s yeast or cake. Take a Glazed or Sugar Raised yeast Donut at Dunkin’ Donuts. Eat only one (good luck!) and you can get away with about 200 calories, a teaspoon or two of sugar, and eight or 12 grams of fat. That’s not terrific. Like any doughnut, the trans fat in the frying shortening matches the damage caused by the saturated fat. We found six grams—nearly a third of a day’s worth—of “bad” fat (sat plus trans) in one yeast Glazed Donut. But you could do a lot worse. A single Dunkin’ Donuts Chocolate Cake Glazed Donut, for example, has 340 calories, three teaspoons of sugar, and 22 grams of fat—12 of them trans or saturated. Of course, doughnut lovers seldom stop at one. Dunkin’ makes it tough by running frequent promotions like “Buy six, get six free.” And don’t let your eyes wander over to the crullers, fritters, or coffee rolls while you’re waiting in line. Think of each as 250 to 300 calories of deep-fried sugar-coated flour Cinnamon Rolls: Like muffins, Cinnamon rolls are, well, on a roll, climbing 25 percent between 1987 and 1996. They’re nothing more than breakfast cake. But at least when you buy Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls at the supermarket, there’s a chance that you’ll eat only one, which means 150 calories, five grams of fat, and two teaspoons of sugar. Move up to Pillsbury Grands and the numbers double. But that’s still better than the Cini-minis Pillsbury makes for Burger King. With icing, your “mini” fast-food breakfast totals 530 calories, nine teaspoons of sugar, and 22 grams of fat, nine of them saturated or trans. Cini-minis have doubled Burger King’s breakfast sales. What’s next? Cini-minis with chocolate coating, M&M’s, and Reese’s Pieces? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

maddog	Cinnamon rolls, probably because they're bigger than a regular donut. But, if you're in good shape, exercise, and your metabolism is good, you can eat this stuff and chase it with a couple of beers and not have any ill effect! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Bjork's Music Oh Yeah	mmmmm Im hungry for a fresh warm Cinnamon roll! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tootsie38	Yes, anything that involves dough is not good for you. However, safe in small quantities.. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

smiles15	cinnomon roll is worse. I would suggest a bagel with cream cheese if you wanted something sweet but not as bad Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ipsydoodle	Cimmimim roll is higher in calories, but both are high calories/high fat Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Immortal ninja	uhh yes Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kattymckatty	Yes they are both very bad and yet so good to taste. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Reza	really it depends on your body condition. but avoid any so fatty or sweaty foods. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jinjer	I would think so...they're equally sweet, equally good..yumm it sounds so good right now... haha..but seriously... I think they are.. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Crystal P	yes. Both sound good, but both are bad! look at www.caloriesperhour.com - they have listings of calories and calories from fat in a long list of foods. They even break it down by servings for you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Buk (Fey)	oh they are both lovely and would recommed eating both! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

HotInTX	Equally, yes, although Cinnamon has been know for some properties which can help reduce certain blood ailments! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sara	With their both being high in sugar, I would say that the Cinnamon roll is the lesser of two evils being that donuts are usually fried, therefore, higher in fat. Unless you're thinking of those jumbo-size Cinnamon rolls, then that roll would definitely be higher in calories than the donut. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

§ gαввαηα §	I would suppose, but tasty huh? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

chiki	yeah. but i eat them anyways. go ahead eat them if u want! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Justmecee	I would say the Cinnamon roll although I would not call either bad if you only treat yourself to one sporadically. Overindulgence is what it makes it bad. You can always treat yourself to half a donut (preferably plain). Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

JR	They are both extremely bad but give me a hot Cinnamon roll and Ill roll right over for you. I may have to have Cinnamon rolls for dinner now. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Miss Crickett	they are both full of carbs and sugar Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Alec S	probably the doughnut is less bad for you but look at the sugar and carbs and calories and total fat Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

curious	yep...but they are soooo good :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

PraiseBob	They are neck and neck. However, I would have to put the donut as slightly worse because it is deep fried. OTOH, the Cinnamon roll is generally larger and packs in a few more calories. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

goldengirl	who cares..they're both delicious Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

deepseaofblankets	donuts are deep fried in oil, usually Cinnamon rolls are baked, that's got to be a healthier method for cooking them. Prolly have the same sugar content, but Cinnamon rolls aren't soaked in grease. OK, now I'm hungry! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

raycatng	It depends on how each of them are made. Both of them can be better or worse. Cinnabun makes a Cinnamon roll that has about a million calories and I am sure there are plenty of doughnuts with equal. The only advantage a Cinnamon roll has is that it is baked instead of fried. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Gone fishin'	Yes. Pick an apple. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
