Remind me why I shouldn't eat a donut.

My office has free donuts at least once a week (terrible, I know). A dozen just appeared in our breakroom. I need some reminders of why I shouldn't eat one. I am trying to maintain a low-carb diet but I am also a college student and I have a hard time turning down free food. Help!
Go ahead an eat it because I am absolutely SURE that you love to work your butt off at the gym. If you eat that donut, you will get to work even harder at the gym. So go ahead...enjoy the donut and the workout afterword.
Personally...I don't eat donuts because I am lazy. DUH! That is how I got so fat. If I wasn't lazy then I wouldn't be so out of shape.
But YOU my friend... you are a lean mean fighting machine that absolutely LOVES to sweat like a maniac in the gym...so go ahead!!!!0 -
I would have a donut.
the chocolate one?0 -
i would eat the donut....
if I wanted one....if I liked them...
I had two slices of cake last night...
one was chocolate peanut butter,
the other was white chocolate raspberry....
OKOK I lied....i didn't eat two whole slices, but I had enough bites of each that I was happy, and sated....and cake full...
I shared the rest with my daughter....
but still..i wanted it and I ate it...and it fit in my macros...because...

Sorry I can't help... I'd just eat a donut.
I lost 66 pounds while eating a donut or two every week.
Donuts are awesome.0 -
My office gets donuts every Friday. I have to remind myself that these are supermarket donuts. If I eat it, I will feel sick to my stomach and get a headache. It is best to not waste the calories on a donut I don't truly enjoy. I'd much rather get a dunkin or local bakery donut than a bland, oversugared grocery store donut.0

I would remind you, but I'd probably eat the donut and make up for it elsewhere. Especially if it was a jelly donut.0

Because they will not fit into your calorie limit, or your macronutrient balance.
And if the above statement isn't correct, then eat the donut.

This reminded me of when I was working. My boss loved donuts and would bring them in at least three times a week. We knew we shouldn't eat them but couldn't resist. I am sure this contributed to my weight gain when I was in my 40's. My boss ended up not
making it to his 65th birthday. He had diabetes and a heart condition but ended up getting cancer and passed away suddenly. So, don't eat the donut. It I not good for you and has no nutritional value. I looked up the kind I used to eat, the chocolate covered one and they are 270 calories and 13 grams of sugar. Bring yourself a healthy snack, like a piece of fruit or some nuts and skip the donut.0 -

Gah, I know right?!
Moderation, though. One donut every once in a while won't kill you. Just work it into your calorie intake. Do a few more exercises that day if you feel up to it. Maybe you can even eat half of it, and bring the rest home for later (or for someone who lives with you if you don't live alone). My mom used to do that a lot. She'd eat half a muffin (she worked at a place that made muffins, always brought home the leftovers) and give the other half to one of us kids later.
Don't deprive yourself. If you give up donuts completely, when you DO eat a donut again... well, it might be hard to stop. :glasses:0 -

good man0 -
Eat the donut. They're delicious.0

Have half if you can't make up your mind
My mindset is that if I find myself saying "man, I could really use some goodies today" and then some one brings in goodies, I eat one. If not, I feel better about myself just taking a sniff and closing the box :laugh:0 -
IF they are donuts I really really like - I'd have one. If they are half stale, blah donuts... no. I try to only squeeze it in for the day if I love it. I hate to throw away calories on something blah.
IF they are blah and I REALLY REALLY wanted it - I'd just squeeze it in. Somedays are just hormone driven that way.
Set yourself a donut limit. They aren't going away so either you have to use staunch willpower or make peace with them.0 -

I had 3 the other day for breakfast!! 220 each!!
Just had a cheese sandwich for lunch and a chicken hotpot for dinner and no other treats. Still under my calorie goal!!
Moral of this rather pointless story? STICK TO YOUR GOALS AND TREAT YOURSELF TO WHAT YOU WANT!!0 -
Share the donut with a coworker or two and write it in your diary!0

This thread reminded me that there's free fudge in my office right now. BRB0

My husband and I make a special trip to krispy kreme (30min 1 way) once a month...

Has anyone seen " The Five Year Engagement"
Is it an old dunut?0 -
Everytime someone eats a dougnut, a puppie dies. Probably in Sochi.
Too soon? I'm actually really sad about this despite my flipant response.
Don't let the dounut win and you can be so proud of yourself at the end of the day.0 -

Haha. Yes!0 -
Say that you have an intolerance to doughnuts, and keep saying it so people stop offering it you.0
-
Someone say donut? With or without sprinkles?0
-
Because your body isn't a waste bin. Just because its there, does not mean you have to put it in your body.
You say this like donuts belong in the trash?! I whole-heartedly disagree!!! Give me your donuts. Lol!
OP, just eat a quarter or an eighth (a bite) of one, log it, and move on. That's what I do.

Do you actually want or need to eat the doughnut now or is it simply because it is free?
Consumption for the sake of consumption is a bit pointless.
Why don't you take one home and if you want to eat it later then do so...0 -
I'm not sure I would call a donut food. I myself have no problem turning down a donut mainly because I would rather spend my calories on something with a little more nutritional value in it. We frequently have someone bring in donuts and they always say it must be killing me to not be able to have one. I think I am able to have one if I want. I just choose not to. Of course this also comes from guys who complain how much they weigh but can't do anything about it. :bigsmile:0
