Hi everyone! I recently found a recipe online for healthier chocolate chip muffins and I made them and they are GREAT. They have no flour or sugar (besides stevia), and are made with ingredients like greek yogurt, unsweetened coco, applesauce, and rolled oats. Besides the chocolate chips its all pretty healthy ingredients. Each muffin weighs in at around 140 calories. Throughout the day I eat healthy meals, and even my snacks are usually healthy. But every night I get a craving for something sweet after dinner and I like to have dessert. My question is, can I eat one of these muffins for dessert every night? I like them better than the weight watchers ice cream bars/ 100 calorie pudding cups that I have been eating because they are more natural and satisfying to me. Just concerned that eating the same thing for dessert every night will cause me to gain weight. I am happy at the weight I am currently at and I just want to maintain. Also, I also leave room for the muffins in my calorie intake for the day.

    Then your answer is yes. Enjoy your muffin.

    If you're under your calorie goal and meeting your nutritional needs, there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a treat.

    No. This is a horrible idea. Please pack up the remaining muffins and ship them to me. I will ensure that they are disposed of properly (preferably in some way involving ice cream). :bigsmile:

    Seriously, as everyone else has said, as long as they fit into your daily goals, go for it!

    Go for it! I've been eating bite size milky ways as a snack every day lately, too bad they are almost gone now :sad:

    I've been eating these ridiculously fatty bacon egg mcmuffin sandwiches every day. English Muffin, overeasy egg, cheddar cheese, and BACON. They are low calorie at 400 calories per serving. They are super unhealthy, but help me lose weight. For weight loss all that matters is total calories. You can eat chocolate every meal every day and you will lose weight. Your body being healthy is a whole nother matter though.
