Got this from a friend of mine, we'd been discussing so-called healthy/low-fat snacks sold. We're both doing the 12wbt together, our daily allowance is 1,200 calories (for females, 1,800 for males).
I've just gone and checked out Muffin Break's website for their "nutritional" info for their muffins, I had a look at the blueberry & apple low fat muffin and it is 319 Cal. Say you stick to 1,200 or even 1,500 cals a day, you're basically kissing off most of one of your major meals for one muffin. If you have their new low fat fruit & nut soy & linseed muffin, you can say goodbye to either breakfast or lunch (those are actually the higher calorie meals we have, dinner is low cal - one muffin all-but equals 2 normal dinners).saw on a pamphlet for Muffin Break's new soy and linseed muffin "wholesome, nutritious, source of fibre ... less kilojoules and fat than old soy and linseed muffins". Now I dunno much about muffins, but I would have thought that 448 cals for a fruit and nut soy and linseed muffin was a tad on the high side.
Scary huh .......
