You may not buy them often but people bring them to sports games as snacks, birthday parties, sleep overs, kids get a lot of donuts whether you give them as a treat or not. I can’t tell you how many of my kids early sports games began or ended with donuts.

Well, they are thin and eat great healthy meals and snacks most of the time. You food nazis are insufferable.

Almond mom and family have arrived.

Yes!

I’d like to think I’m not a food nazi, my kid just had chicken tenders/fries for lunch and were going out for dinner later too, no idea what she’ll get. BUT only having donuts for breakfast before a car ride is not enough.
I’d be irked if thats literally all that was offered.
Realistically donuts are a desert food not a breakfast food. I think it’s fine for a special occasion like this, but you need to have other options as well. You wouldn’t just offer a slice of cake for breakfast, so why just donuts?

Yes, you speak for all teen athletes.

Not all teen athletes, of course not. Teen athletes are individuals. But if you're feeding a group and you don't know their individual athletes, then you over estimate rather than underestimate.

It's also not clear whether there will be other food there, and whether they are going someplace where there will be another breakfast. Also, are they coming from their home, or a hotel? My kids would probably have eaten some protein already, if they were coming from home, because they wake up starving. Other kids are different.

It’s pretty clear no other food will be there. But I suspect the “min of 3 donuts each” crowd is the same who insist every party guess will eat half a pizza. Probably we’re in very different circles.

Are you sure the 3 women will eat donuts? I wouldn’t eat anything if donut is the only food available

Maybe you could make some scrambled eggs?

There is no protein, just donuts. Hope your family enjoys being hangry.

I'd eat one donut but then want some protein to go along with it. If just donuts, I'd probably skip them, knowing they'll just make me hungry soon.

Sigh. Did you read any of OP’s posts? There will be no hot food being prepared.

OP, can you add bagels with some spread available too? I could eat a donut and be fine. Some of you people are just so inflexible.

You’re calling others inflexible while trying to change the menu?

I would get a dozen donuts plus 3 of those donut "eclairs" that I would cut in half and set out on another plate. Then I would set out a big bowl of berries. I would also have some containers of yogurt in the fridge on offer.

NP. Anyone who’s ever met a teen boy, especially an athlete, knows what PP is talking about. It’s weird that this has apparently triggered you.

OP, get 2 dozen donuts.

It’s donuts….thats it, no protein. Put your pedestal away.

PP you replied to. Sorry, I'm judging. We're not health nuts and we eat too much processed foods and sugar, like most people, but if I'm responsible for feeding people, then I would feel terrible not offering relatively healthy options. That's just being polite and having standards that aren't below the Mariana Trench. Yogurt or eggs would be fine.

Several people have responded that their teen boy athletes wouldn't eat 3 donuts. OP should stick to a dozen and get those ready to eat yogurt cups with granola (or just yogurt in individual pots). I live in downtown Bethesda and I would forget the sweets and just buy a selection of breakfast sandwiches at French Baguette. That way people don't arrive hangry at the other relative's home.
