Plan ahead, easier said than done??? This thread apparently is attracting the small-minded, small-muscled wannabes with no mental conviction or desire to do what it takes. As master yoda so eloquently put “Do or do not, there is no try”.

wow, such helpful replies. All of you, give yourselves a pat on the back.
to the OP: you have three options as I see it,
option 1 = don’t eat anything until later. skipping breakfast (or any meal) won’t cause your metabolism to crash or your muscle to fall off. if you want, just eat breakfast later, or skip it entirely and eat a little more later in the day to make up for it.
option 2 = eat the doughnut. one doughnut won’t kill you nor will it make you fat (unless you end up feeling guilty about it an end up eating the entire dozen). if its a once in a while thing, like you say it is, then go for it. you shouldn’t have to isolate yourself socially because you fear certain foods.
option 3 = plan ahead. easier said than done but if your that concerned about it, you can at least grab a piece of fruit or two and a protein shake/bar.
there you go, three options laid out for you. choose the one you like best and don’t sweat it.[/quote]
Ah… finally. Thank you. So you’re saying as long as it’s a one time deal, it won’t really make a tangible difference? I guess I probably should have been able to come to that conclusion on my own, ha… but thanks for the serious reply. For some reason I’ve developed this irrational fear of missing breakfast.
Randman: Bud, you better have one hell of a physique, heh. If you do, I respect. But if not, stay out of the grown ups forums please.
Depends on your goals, and how long you have until you can get to food. If your bulking and it’s going to be over 2 hours your better off eating. One doughnut is more likely to be burned calorie wise by your brain then your body. Eat another doughnut and it won’t hurt either, just up the protein when you get to your next meal, or cut the carbs that night.
If your cutting you may be better off not eating although it can make you tired, if your not the type of person to get tired then go ahead and skip, just drink some coffee or something.
…it also depends on bodytype. Which you should know by now, how food effects you. Do you gain fat easy or no will determine what you should do.

I just like posting pictures…I admit it.
So, let me get this straight. (I’ve read every one of your posts on here so far.)
You had no time the night before to perpare any breakfast at all. And then in the morning, again had no time AT ALL to prepare for said breakfast. Now, you’re along with friends (who will “bitch” at you for not agreeing with eating their “fat-free” food… yet are eating donuts…) and find yourself in a situation where the ONLY possible thing in the world you can eat is donuts. Donuts is the only option. Not a protein bar (or nuts maybe?) from atleast a nearby freakin’ gas station or convenience store… just donuts. Oh, or your “friend’s poptart?”

How dare you suggest that!
I can’t believe this has even gotten to page 2. But, as long a pop-tart isn’t a euphemism for penis, go ahead and down one.
How often do you visit magical donut island?
Well, let me clear this up. I was just throwing out hypothetical examples. Looking back my first post should have read:
“Suppose, hypothetically, that you find yourself in a situation where you wake up in the morning and the only food you have access to are mainstream breakfast solutions (such as pop tarts, doughnuts, lucky charms, blah blah, etc.) Do you eat the sugary food just to keep your muscles from shrinking, or do you wait a few hours until you have access to some better food?”
I was just curious if anyone knew which would be better for your body, scientifically. Which is more evil? Sugar or fasting?
The question was never “how do I prevent this from happening?” Or “who can be the most sarcastic?” Don’t get so stressed out about this.
As someone already stated, doing either one time isn’t going to matter in the long run. And yes, yes, it would be a better idea to just plan ahead. Got it. Thanks.
Oh, and as for my friends not agreeing with me, that was just an aside.
With all due respect, most of the threads here devolve to who can be most sarcastic/the biggest ass, you’ve accepted it with pretty good grace.
How difficult is it to suck down a carton of milk with a bagel?

Ummmm why don’t you just plan ahead? What is actually stopping you? Please answer the question, it is important.

It’s because he kept arguing with most of the posters on this thread that called him out for his lack of planning like it wasn’t an option.

A lot of threads are like that. This thread isn’t one of them. The OP gave the impression that he doesn’t plan and wouldn’t consider it a viable option. Other posters called him out.

Umm…no, he didn’t.
i dont see nothing wrong with donuts once in a while, even better if you decide to have them for breakfast, at least you will be ramping your metabolism (with all that sugar)… if youre under 30 and are in a pretty lean shape then its ok,
I have protein milkshakes for breakfast and im under 9% bf… i TRY to eat wisely throughout the day and workout at least twice a week.
Sometimes when youre out backpacking have no $$$ and no choice then what else are you going to do, food is food… I also have b**** ass friends that have no sense about proper eatin… bit when you have no choice the worst thing is to worry about where to get 30 gr of protein, complex carbs etc.

Whey + cup of oats + blender = Breakfast.
Bring a bag of almonds with you to eat with the shake, its everything you need in the morning.
Dry oats a glass of water and two scoops of whey in a blender for a few seconds and your out the door.
I drink mine on the way and eat the almonds after I finish the shake.

I am assuming you are giving in to your friends and letting them win? You need to stand up to them. If my friends ever said to me here eat a doughnut or nothing till lunch, I tell them fuck off.
NO ONE has the right to give me these STUPID options. Seriouly for fuck’s sake stand up for your self, your body will thank you.[/quote]
Hell yeah, this is one of the things you can stand up to in life. One of the few things you can control.
Fucking doughnuts, just go ahead and choke yourself.

You are justifying eating shit.

That is probably a better way of posing the question. Although I don’t practice what I am about to say, I plan ahead and I make sure I always have a ‘proper breakfast’ at hand.
Eating luckycharms and sugary junk is always going to be a far better option than fasting, especially first thing in the morning where your first duty should be to kick start your metabolism.
You have a higher carb tolerance in the mornings so if on the one off occasion you had to eat that I very much doubt it will have a negative impact on your health or body composition, but it wont have a positive impact.
I make that statement based upon the fact that your nutrition is up to scratch the majority of the time (greater than 90%) and of course you exercise.
Keep in mind that these options are caloric dense and you must know that the portions will need to be taken into consideration and you get straight back onto a proper nutrition plan ASAP, and if you feel guilty and need to justify it. Do some extra exercise later on.
Hope this helps.
