If you want to indulge in a doughnut, that’s fine, but consider avoiding the “filled” options, which tend to be higher in sugar. Otherwise, just pick your favorite and pair it with a whole milk latte (without sweeteners) for some protein to balance out that blood sugar spike. Personally, I’d go with a Cinnamon or Glazed Chocolate. Then, just make sure your lunch and dinner are lean and green (think lots of veggies paired with a high-quality protein). —Brigitte Zeitlin, R.D., owner of BZ Nutrition A couple of the better options to try: the Veggie Egg White Sandwich, the DD Smart Veggie Egg White Wake Up Wrap, or—if you’re not into bread—the chain also recently launched their new Dunkin’ Bowls with scrambled eggs: the Egg White Bowl and the Sausage Scramble Bowl. Not into a savory meal? Have a cappuccino made with 2% milk or whole milk—the protein and fat will give you a little staying power to keep you going until your next healthier eating occasion. —Jess Cording, R.D., mbg Collective member A relatively good breakfast choice is the Egg and Cheese Wake Up Wrap, featuring whole eggs (not egg whites), with 7 grams of protein. You’ll probably still be hungry though (it’s just 180 calories), so pair it up with a piece of fruit or a yogurt if possible. As for doughnuts? Despite its name, the Sugared Donut actually has the least amount of sugar of all the DD doughnuts. With 4 grams of sugar and 230 calories, it’s the lightest pick. —Frances Largeman-Roth, RDN, author of Eating in Color —Abby Cannon, J.D., R.D., creator of Abby’s Food Court
