Donuts

Did you know that, if you eat one of those lovely strawberry frosted donuts, it amounts to 240 calories? Not a great deal I know, but...it also contains 10 grams of fat !!! :noway:
To walk off that donut, it'll take 48 minutes at a brisk pace - now ask yourself, is it really worth being tempted?

I don't even wanna think how much a jam donut contains :noway:

Happy weekend guys :flowerforyou:

I used to work at a donut shop. Did you know that filled donuts (like the jelly ones, boston cream, etc) actually contain FEWER calories and less fat. This is because when they are fried, filled donuts have less surface area. Thus the oil touches less of the pastry. So actually, if you're going to have a donut, a filled one is a better choice.
ps- if you really want to beat the donut craving, work at a tim hortons for a day. :sick: Trust me, you'll never want one again.

Yreah I guessed that filled ones were less cal etc.
I gave the old donuts the heave ho a good few months ago, and not looked back since, just thought it might help others to know :happy:

I so get tricked by the calories...

240 doesn't seem like a lot if you were doing a donut for breakfast!

I realize the 10g of fat and sugar is sky high, but I expected to hear they are more.

It is high when you think, that having that donut for breakfast isn't going to fill you up, so you'll be starving by lunchtime and grabbing anything and everything that is calorie laiden :ohwell:

It's really not that high if you are only having one once in awhile. A donut for breakfast is never a good idea though... no nutrients at all, lol.
