    Oh please - I've given up 500 of my 1200 for wine before, if someone wants to give up a couple hundred for a donut that's their business. :)

    Haha, yeah, I read that one and thought about the day I just had Hershey Kisses for dinner.

    Hershey Kisses for dinner? I bet that was awesome! I commonly eat pancakes for dinner - this past Sunday I blew 1,030 calories on Bob Evan's Cinnamon Supreme Hotcakes (and my goal for maintenance is 1,600). Worth every single calorie.

    I wish I could eat one donut - I want six. Love Krispy Kreme but Shoppers makes the best donuts I've had. Fun to fantasize about donuts ... It's easy for me to avoid eat eating a donut because I know one isn't enough.

    I love doughnuts lol especially those fresh off the conveyor belt hot ones from a KK store, they are hands down my favorite! I'm also southern so apparently according to this thread I'm predisposed to KK? ;) My SIL loves them more than I do lol someone drove their car through the wall of the nearest KK to her causing them to close down temporarily and she freaked out lol *this really happened unfortunately lol*

    My problem is... I don't want one donut, I want 16. That's why I can't have any right now. One day I'll trust myself to just be satisfied with a solo piece of heaven.

    I don't like donuts, but I know exactly how you feel. The other day we made homemade shawarma sandwiches. My usual bought shawarma sandwich is about 700 calories, so I pre-logged that. When I counted the actual sandwich we made it turned out to be 420 calories, mayo and all. I was so happy. It's like wearing an old jacket and finding a 20 in your pocket.

    We have a Krispy Kreme not too far from me and you can go down there and watch them making the donuts, then get one hot off the press. Lovely. :love:

    Although... we're getting a new place even closer to me called Duck Donuts. I've never heard of it but apparently it's a place from the Outer Banks that's been expanding. And apparently the donuts are VERY good, according to everyone who's raving and can't wait till this place opens. I do plan to try one. Must do a taste test. In the interests of science, you know. :wink:

    200 calories? Plain old fashioned Dunkin Donuts donuts are 370. So, I doubt it.

    Dunkin donuts aare cake donuts and much more dense. KK are yeast donuts and much lighter in volume and density.

    DD also tastes like crap but hey we all got our opinions LOLOLOL

    Nay, nay I say!!! DD Boston Cream Donuts make my taste buds so very happy, I try to have one once a week or two. 310 calories and 16 sugars are totally worth it and actually fill me up.

    But those Yum Yums could very possibly unseat BCDs if I could find them. :D

    Ohmygodyes. I'd throat-punch a kitten for a fresh DDBC. No regrets.

    Most of DD's donuts are not cake donuts.

    Well, I've only been a couple of times, so maybe I just got the wrong ones. But they aren't the nice air-filled warm ones like Krispy Kreme. I don't even think they make them in the store at DD? You don't see any machinery like you do at KK.

    I know right - who'd have thought it would get so few - had it been about bacon we'd be into the 20s by now :wink:

    Not just the one donut. We've expanded into other donuts.

    Krispy Kreme isn't really HORRIBLE, but if I'm going to have a donut, then I'm going to Titus Bakery for some Pershings or Bismarcks. But, that's in Indiana, and I'm in Texas... so...
    Round Rock Donuts. Though, depending on where you are in Texas, Indiana might still be closer.

    I LOVE Round Rock Donuts. I have to go to RRK about 2x a year for work and I always request these when I'm in our local office...

    Nope. Maple Bacon belongs on a yeast long john, not a cake doughnut, IMO.

    Only 200? ONLY?!

    That's 1/6 of my whole day. That leaves me only 1000 calories in which to cram all the vitamins and minerals I need, which is dang hard to do with 1200.

    Only.

    I envy anyone who can blow 200 calories and still get all their many micros.

    I pity anyone who doesn't realize that our days do not exist in a vacuum and that one can make up excesses and shortfalls and subsequently denies themselves the pleasure of donuts.

    I grew up on KK, and still love them, especially over DD. We got a Duck near us a few months ago. Only been twice because the lines are ridiculous. I honestly didn't expect to like them - I don't think they are yeast donuts, which have always been my favorite, and the toppings seemed a little lacking (compared to Voodoo Donuts, one of my favorites on the West Coast!). But...O. M. G. Something about the way it is deep fried is DELICIOUS! Good thing they have long lines...

    Cannot do bacon and sweets. Just can't.
