High Protein Muscle Building Muffins

Well my buddy Dave has done it again with these High Protein Muscle Building Fat Burning Apple & Cinnamon Muffins. This is just one of the many healthy recipe ideas Dave shares that help you transform your body by making bad foods good.

This high protein muffin recipe is a welcome treat. It doesn’t matter if you are looking to build muscle or burn that stubborn belly fat this is a healthy snack option that will fit into either diet plan.

Muffins generally aren’t something I would consider a healthy snack, especially when it comes to transforming your body. I am not sure if you have ever checked out the nutrition label of your typical breakfast or snack muffin but they are horrendous. I don’t really classify them all that much higher than a doughnut.

Is a muffin better for you than a donut?

There is no question that a doughnut is a poor nutrition choice. But how much better off are you when you grab the typical muffin for your breakfast or snack?

If we were to just look at the calories in food, a donut, in most cases will have less calories than a breakfast muffin. A medium sized donut measuring almost 4 inches across contains 255 calories. Your average donut usually has 170 to 270 calories. When you get into the fancy doughnuts they are going to cost you 290 to 360 calories. If you get extra fancy and go with the cream-filled option you are looking at 300 to 390 calories.

Now compare that to your typical store bought muffin. A giant bakery muffin has anywhere from 340 to 630 calories, and that is before you add anything like butter, jam, or your favorite spread.

Calories in a muffin:

• Panera Apple Crunch muffin, 5-oz – contains 470 calories, 12 grams fat, 83g carbs, 7g of protein
• Starbucks’ Apple Bran muffin – 4.3 oz., 350 calories, 9 grams of fat 64g of carbohydrates, 6g of protein
• Dave’s Apple Cinnamon Muffin - Calories: 204, Carbohydrates: 22g, Fat: 5g

Not only are there a lot of calories the nutritional value is poor too. Your typical muffin is made of poor quality ingredients, sugar is often the first or second most used ingredient. Then look at the nutritional break down, generally not high in fat but usually the bad fat, and the carbs. The carbs are through the roof. Not a great way to burn fat or build lean muscle.

Dave has come to the rescue with his healthy and tasty muffin recipe,

Who Else Wants to Know How Many Calories Are In An Egg?

Eggs are eaten everywhere around the world. Many start their day off with some variation of a cooked egg. This has been going for thousands of years.
