Doughnuts (Plain) (1 Doughnut, Medium (3 1/4 Inches Dia))

Have a smaller portion—for example, one doughnut instead of multiple—and avoid adding sugary drinks.

Eat the doughnut after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach; include protein and fiber such as eggs, plain Greek yogurt, or a small handful of almonds.

Pair it with water, unsweetened tea, or black coffee instead of juice, soda, or sweetened coffee drinks.

Add a fiber-rich side such as non-starchy vegetables or a small serving of berries to help slow digestion.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help your muscles use circulating glucose.

Avoid having another high-sugar or refined-starch snack for the next few hours; choose options like cheese, nuts, or plain Greek yogurt if hungry.
