American runs on Dunkin


No actually, I think American runs on calories. Flicking through a Cosmo or other womans magazine recently, I stumbled upon this snip it in the 'health and nutrition' section on "How to eat more of what you love without packing on the pounds" (or something equally as bad). Here's the words of wisdom they had to offer...

The kind nutritionist have given us some calorie fighting Dunkin Doughnuts breakfast options, so you can enjoy various breakfast options that won't put you in a sugar coma.

Somehow, I'm not convinced.

The average woman's daily calorie consumption is around 2050 per day. Consuming either of these options will put you at almost half your calories intake for the day. Not to mention only keep you full for about 30 mins. By the time you reach the office you'll be thinking about that tuna sandwich, skinny latte or pulled pork shoulder you're having for dinner. 

Marissa Lippert (nutritionist) stated that "Those blended iced-coffee drinks look refreshing, but the loads of cream and sugar will weigh you down. Go with a skim version and enjoy a protein-packed wrap and some doughnut-hole snacks for later, too".

Thanks for the advice Marissa but I'd rather go for a run and enjoy a poached egg on rye bread and a cup of tea thanks.
