Healthy vs unhealthy foods: donuts and muffins

Which is “healthier”? Blueberry muffin or strawberry glazed donut with sprinkles?
🍩
How many times have you thought “I really want the donut but I’m going to go for the healthier option of a blueberry muffin?” (Maybe you don’t even like blueberries?)
🍩
For me-constantly! Before I learned to look at the macros of foods, I ALWAYS thought muffins were the “healthier” options, just like I thought salads at restaurants were the “healthier” option when in reality-they’re packed with sneaky fats in the toppings and dressings (so many restaurants have over 30g of fats in their salads…that’s almost 1/2 day’s worth for some people).

But take a look at the calorie differences and more importantly, the carb and SUGAR differences. Let’s take back the meaning of “healthy” because society likes to demonize certain foods while glorifying others without discussing the nutrition behind them, which leaves you gaining weight while eating foods you don’t even want 🙅‍♀️
🍩
This is why I loveee the 80/20 rule. This is why I loveeee flexible dieting, because I was always putting myself in a worse situation mentally and physically! Then I would still be craving the damn donut anyways 🤤 So go get that donut, stay within your macros if you want to and get on with your bad self 😘

Moral of the story: donuts aren’t evil, muffins aren’t always healthier for you and you’ll be much healthier and happier if you don’t restrict certain foods/food groups 🤗
