6. Dump the donut.

Instead of a donut for breakfast, have an English muffin or half of a jumbo bagel (save the other half for lunch). Believe it or not, a chocolate glazed donut can have the same number of calories as the English muffin and a half bagel combined! Top the English muffin or bagel half with peanut butter or light cream cheese, and either breakfast option still serves up less calories than that donut. Bonus tip: Look for whole wheat or whole grain English muffins or bagels for even more fiber and nutrition at breakfast.
