if a regular donat has 100% calori then you will get 10% calori from a diet one.

how many 10% calori giving diet donuts is eqaul to a regular donut which gives 100 % calori.

find their ratio:

%28regular%29%2F%28diet%29
100+%2F+10
=10

so if you enjoy eating diet and do not enjoy losing fat; eat 10 diet donuts instead of one regular one
