How should I track Doughnut, glazed?
Doughnut, glazed is a good source of iron. Bakery products like Doughnut, glazed vary more than you would expect — even pieces from the same batch can differ by 25–50 g. Research on portion estimation (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013) shows that people are particularly bad at estimating baked goods because size, density, and moisture all vary. The simplest fix: weigh a few pieces with a kitchen scale and you will quickly learn what your usual portion actually weighs. This one-time calibration makes all future logging faster and more reliable.
