Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Nutritional?


I just figured up how many calories I eat when I have a dozen (plus the sample they give you) doughnuts from Krispy Kreme. Drumroll please.....





Scroll down for answer...













keeeeeep gooooiiiinnnnggg.....


















3000 calories! (7 hot ones, 2 chocolate covered, 2 cinnamon bun, and 2 raspberry filled please!)

Its a good thing I always order a DIET Coke to go with them. There's way too much sugar in a regular Coke for me.

I thought it was ironic that Krispy Kreme's website actually uses the term "nutritional info" to refer to the contents of its doughnuts (lard, sugar, more lard, maybe some flour, etc.) What's nutritional about a doughnut?

There were a couple of weeks while I lived in New Orleans where I ordered a dozen doughnuts about once a week. I gained 15 pounds that semester.

I made a New Year's Resolution this year to not eat a KK doughnut until I reach a certain weight (I'm not telling you). At the rate I am now going, it will be sometime around September and likely October before I get to taste another circle of heaven. It makes me kind of sad. Luckily, I only swore off Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Notice I didn't swear off all doughnuts (-: That means I can get my sugar fix every once in a while without breaking my resolution.

I would have thought there would be more than 3000 calories. How could you possibly eat two dozen KK's in a week and still like them to the point of sacrifice? :D
