Doughnuts
Doughnuts are a food that can seem harmless, especially if you just intend to have one. The truth is, doughnuts tend to cause weight gain due to their seemingly innocent nature. If you tend to stop by a doughnut shop or bakery for morning coffee, beware of picking up doughnuts to go with your order. Today, many places offer fruit from a basket on the counter as an option instead of doughnuts, so you don’t necessarily have to stop going to your favorite coffee shop. You just have to change your food selection.
Doughnuts are often sold by the half dozen or one full dozen. One Krispy Kreme Glazed Doughnut has 190 calories. If you eat a half dozen over the course of the morning, that is equal to nearly a full days calories at 1,140. The sugar in doughnuts is also off the charts for one day’s sugar intake, making doughnuts a dietary offense to avoid.
