How many calories... in a Caramel Pecanbon from Cinnabon?
The smell is almost hypnotic... fresh cinnamon buns being pulled from the oven at Cinnabon. And there in the display rack, sitting like cinnamon bun royalty above the rest of their selections, sits the Caramel Pecanbun. Something about the way they make the buns from scratch right in front of you... it almost fools the mind into thinking they might be healthy. But I'm also not blind. I see the caramel, I see the pecans, and I know there's butter in that dough. So I already know the nutritional details on one of these guys has got to be pretty bad. But I've decided that I need to finally know: how bad is it, exactly?
How many calories and how much fat is in a Cinnabon Caramel Pecanbun?
A) 590 calories, 29 grams of fat
B) 700 calories, 33 grams of fat
C) 880 calories, 45 grams of fat
D) 1100 calories, 56 grams of fat
Fellow Pecanbun lovers, I've got some very bad news. The correct answer is D) 1100 calories, 56 grams of fat.
If I combine one of these buns with a couple cups of coffee, I'll have already maxed out on my total recommended calorie and fat intake for the entire day!
Note: The original Cinnabun weighs in at 730 calories and 24 grams of fat, which is better, but still extremely high numbers for something that's sold as a breakfast food or snack item rather than the largest meal of the day.

Yeh.. but what about the low fat, sugar-free, whole wheat cinnabon?

Listen, Our everyday living is not just about bean sprouts and flaxseeds. Yes it is good to be mindful of our health, but every now and then we must give in to the buttery, sugar cravings and indulge. Balance is the key. We cannot eat cinnabons every day, but once in a while, we can. Life will be so dull if all we ate was organic tofu, etc. Again I say BALANCE is the key. Enjoy that cinnabon!

Personally, when i have those sugar/butter cravings i reach for a bag of micrwavable kettle corn, or maybe one of those pretzels at the mall, though the pretzels are likely not much better than the Cinnabon. (The cinnabon classic is in the 900+Cal range also).
Since I learned from a friend who used to work at a Cinnabon how many calories are in one of these, i have been able to stave off the cravings.
I'm all for indulging, i just prefer my indulgence to be haagen daaz ;-)
