It's National Donut Day

So of course the office has donuts in the break room.. I had ONE... fit it into my allowable calories for the day. But I'm beginning to wonder just how accurate the calorie tracker on MFP is. I've seen two entries of the same food with different calorie totals.

Several people at my work brought in a dozen donuts each... with only 4 of us in today.... plus another floor is having a bake for charity. UGH.

When it comes to the calorie tracker, I always pick the higher calorie entry.

Hubby brought me a donut this morning - blueberry YUM!

If it's a brand name donut, you could try to check the nutritional info on the company website (like Dunkin Donuts or Tim HOrtons). If not, maybe go with the higher one just to be sure. Or pick a middle ground and post as quick add calories.

My phone was nice enough to send me a reminder it was national donut day and coupon to get a free donut... Thanks DD app for having me crave this donut all day!

Me too.

Most of the entries are entered by random users so use them with caution. For donuts, I usually use the Dunkin Donuts site and verify the calories against theirs. Now I'm off to enjoy my toasted coconut donut...

Donuts in my office today too, I would go for one, but hubby and I are going to a local brewery for beer & cheese tonight, so I need to be good during the day!
