How many points in a Krispy Kreme Donughts

It all started a few weekends ago with my youngest brother who mentioned that he wanted to go Krispy Kreme on his way home after mum's birthday.


So for his birthday this weekend I decided to treat him to a box of doughnuts and went to the drive through.


My sister in law was very good at resisting and everyone had some even me. I did however share with my little girl, the one with the chocolate sprinkles, I broke it in half and I did have the smaller half, even though I could have eaten the lot.


Half way home from my brothers my daughter realised we had forgotten the one she had chosen to take home. It was pink, of course, with strawberry glaze that shined like it had sparkles in it, and smelt gorgeous. I don't know if it would have lasted untill Monday night after tea.


So like most mums to stop the tear's I said if she was good after school on Monday and ate all her dinner at school we would go to Birstall Toy's R Us to spend the last of her Christmas money and get a doughnut at the same time. 


 My daughter was pleased as punch to tell me she had eaten all her lunch at school, which meant of course she could have a doughnut. Like an elephant my daughter never forgets.


We drove into the Krispy Kreme car park (which wasn't busy, best time to go 15:45) As soon as you drove past the doors you could smell the sweet doughnut smell that I associate with getting doughnuts as a child form the sea side hhhhmmmmmnnnnn.


We went inside and my daughter was fascinated with how they were made, watching through the window. I think we were stood there for about 10 minutes and all the time my stomach was saying, "one doughnut won't hurt". AAAAAAHHHHHH !!!! get me out of here.


Not so surprisingley I gave in and got myself a 'Strawberries & Kreme'. 
But I am pleased to say that it is still sat in the box waiting for me to eat. 
Waiting for my weigh in tonight then if I have a loss I will treat myself.


Krispy Kreme I am pleased to say have all the nutritional information on line
(not that there's much nutrition in a doughnut) so I was able to point the 1/2 I had on Sunday and Point the one that is waiting for me tonight. 


So how many points is in a Krispy Kreme doughnut ????
Not as bad as you may think. 
For the 1/2 on Sunday I put 8 thinking I might not have allocated enough. It worked out at 8 points for the whole doughnut.


The one I am saving for after weigh in is 9 points. 


So ok as treat every now and then


Fingers crossed for tonight xx
