Doughnuts and Cookies during workouts... not losing weight

Does anyone else have any issues with not losing weight while working out? I have been fueling my workouts with one glaze doughnut and several oreo cookies. I have a lot of energy initially and then my energy levels plummit. Once I hit rock bottom, it seems that another cookie or part of a doughnut seems to perk me right back up. Then I lose energy again and the cycle happens again and again.

I ran my furthest run last week of 1.5 miles and I ended up eating more calories than I burned. I ate three glaze doughnuts and five cookies which totaled 950 calories. My calorie counter tells me that I burned only 325 calories. I had to stop four times during my run. First stop at .35 into the run to fuel again with a half of a doughnut and then at .50 mile for a cookie. I got out of breath and had to sit on the curb at mile .65 and I finished off another glaze and the inside of three oreos. I kept the outside for additional carbs which got me through .85-1.1. I had to almost crawl the last tenth of a mile as I was out of nutrition. When I got home, I carb loaded with several pieces of bread and butter and I felt pretty recovered.

So if anyone else has other nutrition ideas let me know. I have decided to buy a dozen doughnuts at the beggining of the week and a box fo oreos and that should get me through the weeks workouts. I am hoping to run 4 miles this week which should be a personal record for me.

Thanks everyone and I am glad to be amongst a strong group of fellow endurance athletes. Now if I could only figure out why I am gaining weight while exercising, that would be great.

 I think you'd be best to try a hot fudge milk shake before, during, and after your run or exercise.  Since it's a liquid it's absorbed faster.  Also, you're getting calcium and protein with the shake.  Congrats. on the 1.5 miles....I can see 1.75 or 2 miles in your near future.  

Duane, I hear what you are saying, but I don't want start dumping due to being lactose intolerant. I really hope I can hit 2.0 miles before the end of 2011.

You must be taking lessons from Dean Karnazes

Run an ultra, eat a couple pizzas.
It's all good.

Scott, I will look into it but I think Pizza is probably very high in calories. I'm hoping to lose weight not gain weight Scott.

Jeff,

My suggestion:  Switch up the regular generic donuts to KRISPY CREME donuts. A ton more lard and more sugar in the "glaze". Should perk ya right up!

Oh, and how about Double Stuff Oreo's?

 I thought you were supposed to keep a 3:1 ratio during workouts.  3  Snickers Bar to every 1 jelly doughnut? 

A big sack of fries and big gulp mountain dew usually carry me through a 1/2 mile run but to make it as far as you are going I think you should also eat a jar of peanut butter as you run.

dude.  do as homer does.... a waffle wrapped around a stick of butter with caramel sauce on top, mmmmmm fatning...

Hey dude,

You are way off...it's fried twinkies. One to three of those puppies and you are on your way to completing that two miles in no time (at least by the end of this century)!
