There are SO MANY different types of Pillsbury Canned Cinnamon rolls. They have big ones, small ones, reduced fat ones, strawberry, pumpkin, hot cocoa with marshmallow, orange, cinnamon toast crunch, cinnasticks, and more. But, they all range from 130-150 calories per cinnamon roll.

Also, the prepackaged cinnamon rolls have 10 grams of sugar.
