So, today is National Doughnut Day and I'm trying to figure out how to wedge that free donut into my meal plan.

I went out to eat at lunch, so there's no savings there. Wondering if I should just make this doughnut my evening meal and enjoy it. Or average the fun over the rest of the week. I'll make it fit one way or the other.

How are you dealing with National Donut Day?

    Can you get a doughnut tomorrow? Is it special?

    Free doesn't mean good...

    I ate ice cream and fresh strawberries to celebrate.

    Donuts. Not nearly as good as ice cream and strawberries.

    Eat the donut if you want it. :smile:

    I'm getting my donut tomorrow for breakfast. It's still free because the store is running their promotion Thursday-Saturday.

    Are there sugar free donuts? According to many of today's threads, sugar is evil. :/

    What about the vegetable fat they fry it in and the FLOUR!!! Grainz are the debil.

    I love donuts! :-) But I might put some fresh strawberries with it.

    Sorry, free doesn't always mean good.

    Better?
    You have to pick your good. Doughnuts produced en masse to cope with the demand when being handed out for free probably aren't as carefully produced as the ones on other days that may have a bit more time and care behind them....imo.

    I had a free donut and though at the time I was like should I?.. I don't regret it. I never eat donuts and this was a chance, and it was free.

    Eat the donut! Haha it's okay. Don't skip your last meal to compensate. If you go over your calorie goal for a day it will not ruin your whole week (even if you don't cut the other days). Just enjoy yourself then get back on your regimen for tomorrow/ your next meal.

    One of my coworkers brought Munchkins. I had two :)

    On Free Cone Day, the line at our B&J's stretches around the freakin' block :( so I usually don't bother.

    I got donuts for work, I'm the office manager. We got them back in March. We didn't get a lot because we do it on Fridays and there's always less people on Fridays. We make it so people can cut and sample them. Lol I sampled them all, because I didn't eat any the last time. I decided to try them this time around.

    I do pretty good not eating treats at work, we just have a candy bowl which I don't dip into.

    I still ate a meal for dinner which put me over for the day's count, but whatever. It's not the end of the world and I don't eat pastries often, I pick where I'm willing to indulge. I guess too it's telling that I wasn't craving sugar. Oh well!!

    I skipped it. Jelly doughnuts are my favorite but I'd rather save my splurge for a dessert that I will really enjoy and not feel horrible afterwards.
