Brownie Batter Donut from Dunkin!

Bumdrahp

We had a large storm last night/this morning and my power went off!! That meant, no breakfast for me

SO- I go to Dunkin, get a medium iced coffee with skim, an oatmeal... and then it happens...


" Brownie Batter Donut!"


I see that and, all else no longer matters.. I ordered that *kitten*. AND I managed to only eat half of that unrealistically delicious deliciousness. Only 180 calories of my day are taken up, and I got rid of the craving. But boy, did I want the whole thing!
However, how on EARTH does my damn oatmeal manage to eat up 300 calories of my day??! 300!! Smh..


SO basically, I was that person who goes and buys a cheeseburger with a diet coke. I feel silly, but it could have ended a lot worse.

Happy day all. :flowerforyou:

Donuts are my kryptonite! The commercial for them has been killing me! I'm already planning on going out on my cheat day and getting two.

Major props for eating just half.

OMG that sounds beyond delicious! Very good cheat meal!

Hey now, don't knock the cheeseburger with the diet coke, that is totally me!

Never been a big donut fan, with one exception: BOSTON CREAM DONUT. I would kill for one of those.
Cheat meal ... planned :happy:

good job on stopping at half.... I would have had a hard time. I still get my coffee in the morning and I refuse to look at the menu.

Just remember!!! ONE Brownie Batter donut is 360 calories!!!!

It's hard to put down.. I did it with great difficulty!!! it tastes exactly like brownie batter... big girl nightmare right there!!!!

hahah you know whats funny?! Since I started calorie counting las April I TOTALLY understand why people do the " diet coke" thing.. I don't drink soda, at all... but the calories you cut just by doing diet instead, makes a difference...however.. IMO no soda is good soda.

I’m not taking a dig here because I am definitely guilty of this myself but...

The commercial for them has been killing me! I'm already planning on going out on my cheat day and getting two.

Consumerism at its worst. If ever there was a reason to limit food advertising based on nutritional value, this is it. Just wondering if you’d be craving those donuts as much if they hadn’t been shoved in your face by those all too tempting adverts?

Oh, and super well done OP on only eating half – I don’t think I would have had that much self control!

1) I LOVE donuts, I pass a bakery on my way to and from work and it's a true test of my will power

2) The oatmeal you get at a fast food joint is going to measure way differently than the stuff at home. I am sure that there is added brown sugar, and if there are dried fruit and/ or nuts on top that'll make the calorie count go up, and I'm sure the serving size is also larger, but 300 cals in a breakfast isn't bad! Especially since that oatmeal will keep you full for a while.

3) Hit the gym to burn off those extra calories, have a healthy lunch and dinner, just because you have a splurge does not mean your day is ruined. I gave in to the free pizza at work yesterday but still managed to control the rest of my day.

Being healthy is one decision at a time, don't fret over a misstep....accept that you made a "bad" decision and don't let it ruin your day or attitude!

Eating a donut is never ever a bad decision

So yeah..... does this mean you have the other half still available? I'd love a bite or 4

Denise1224

WOW amazing willpower right there!!! I would not have been able to stop at half ... especially if I was by myself!!! If my husband or one of my sons was with me I MIGHT have been able to split it with them .. but not alone no way!!! I would have eaten it all LOL Good job!!!

I wouldn't have even heard about them before this post if it weren't for the commercials. Thankfully, there isn't a Dunkin close enough to me to be really tempting. I have to drive to a part of town that I don''t usually go to.

It is when you can't stop yourself at one donut......I am all for the occaional splurge though, in fact I am planning a Sat morning trip to DD

JulieBGoood

I keep seeing Pączki at the store, can't wait until Fat Tuesday.... It will take up alot of my calories but be worth it!

Do you want to know in detail how this happened?

I went into work, and immediately..went into the ladies room. ( Mainly, because I had to put some make up on, I have no electricity at home right now due to the storm, therefore I couldn't see myself)

I also, decided it was a good time to pull out that donut.. why in the ladies room? One may never know.. it's kind of weird.

I looked at it..thought of throwing it out all together.. but I mashed it into my mouth. I was going to stop there, but then I really tasted that brownie batter.. and had to have another bite..

I then threw it in the toilet...there was no going back.

SO long story short, if you want it.. it may still be in there camoufloging itself as a floater... I left it there because It was funny.

Bumdrahp

Oh, and for the record.. I'm not really beating myself up for it.. I had a wonderful few weeks and I have barely cheated. I had the try the donut. It was well worth the 180 calories. I think I saw a unicorn when I ate it.

America runs on Dunkin!



(Note: I'd already lost 23 pounds by the time of that pic, and am 10 pounds lighter now. 12-15 to go!)

Bumdrahp

Congrats on the weight loss!!!

Floater huh? On second thought, I'm really not that hungry

Oh no! Wish I hadn't seen this! DD is my Friday treat day!

cricketpup

Oh My, I HAVE seen that ad!! I am glad it tasted as yummy as it looks! Kudos for willpower! And remember its ok to enjoy food..again all in moderation which you did fabulously!

Bumdrahp

Oh no! Wish I hadn't seen this! DD is my Friday treat day!

I'm not going to try and MAKE you do something bad or anything..

But, that Brownie batter Donut ( which is shaped like a heart) Is the best donut, they have ever made.. ( aside from lemon filled with chocolate frosting)

So glad i tried it and got it out of the way.. I probably wont be buying another any time soon.

Umm...now I want.

I was wondering what you did with the other half. If it was in my trash can under my desk, I would be tempted to fish it out and finish it! lol

pohlcm08

Sounds delicious, I'm glad I read this after I got to work and now it's too late for me to make a detour on my way here ; ) Great job for stopping at half! I don't know if I would have had that willpower.

LikeNoOneElse84

I can ONLY imagine. This is the first time I have heard of such doughnuts and I am already excited to try one. You are soooo good though. There is no way I would be able to only eat half. Unless of course I don't like it. But if it's anything like the frosted chocolate doughnut... I am in trouble. lol.

MelissR75

Im a former donut addict. I try to avoid DD but went with my friend this morning for coffee....saw that on the sign and had to leave. Recovery isn't easy!!! lol

Cordy1228

I'm actually kind of glad to hear that it's good! I hate it when I try something gimmicky and it's totally not worth it. If I'm choosing to eat empty calories, I want to enjoy them, you know?

Good job stopping after a taste, though. I think I'd be a lot better off if I could do that. I'm never satisfied with just a taste!
