Calories - Wine Vs Doughnuts

[swansonj]

I heard that item on the Today programme this morning too. She'd already told John Humphrys that a glass of wine had 180 calories. When she then said that this was the same as a doughnut, I'm afraid my first reaction was "oh, so the doughnut isn't so bad after all".

Okay i am going to match my jam doughnut with a nice vin santo but (and i'm really putting my head above the parapet on this one) i reckon a normal doughnut (without any filling) would go nicely with a sweet german Riesling.

Total ruination of good wine!! Bin the donuts, drink the wine. Much healthier.

I have a Bulgarian merlot to taste tonight, I shall buy some Jam doughnuts for work tomorrow. I must get out on the bike at some point.

Is neat vodka for slimmers then.

Gin + slimline tonic diet worked for me.

I lost about 3 days in the summer.

I'm just opening a bottle of Sauvignon to celebrate that news.

That'll be a bit wet, you should eat a bag of doughnuts to soak some of that up.

I've just opened my first doughnut.

They were going on about this on the radio this morning as I was driving to work. I don't believe it, load of bollocks if you ask me.

It is absolute carp, isn't it ...?

I heard her talk about a glass of wine and a large glass of wine. Either way a large glass is 228 calories which is about the same as a 50 doughnut. Blimey just typing that word is putting weight on me.

Seeing as I exist on less than 2000 negative a day then I tend to stay clear of wine and cakes and stick to beer.

Show your age and tell me if you remember that seventies delight that was the rum-baba ?
As I recall it was a donut dunked in rum.

OMG yes - where did they go? My dad was a baker, and used to bring one home occasionally on a saturday (closed on sundays of course). Those and cream slices. But I LOVED the rum ba ba.

I have been known to only have one glass of wine.

I have never been known to only have one doughnut.

I've got one of those wine glasses that holds a full bottle, that's a proper one glass rule.
