90 calorie muffins--true?

Phoenixflame

So, I was talking with my caf's manager for a class project. After I'd asked her what I needed, we just chatted about the food. I asked if they'd be posting nutritional contents for their breads and sweets table. She goes "Yeah, I don't think people have realized the thing about the muffins yet."

"Muffins?"

"The fat-free ones. Our pastry chefs make them, and all the other pastries, early each morning. The fat free ones are only 90 calories each. I love them! They totally kill my sweet cravings!"

My first thought was But then I thought a bit more about it afterward. These muffins are smaller (and lighter) than regular muffins, but still larger than "mini-muffin" size. They're hand-made each morning, and the kitchen is pretty health conscious.

So, does it seem like these muffins could really be 90 calories?

I think it's possible... If the muffins are made using fat-free ingredients, if they're low in sugar, etc. then it's going to cut back on the calories. Awesome news for you! :drinker:

Now, can we discuss a shipping schedule for home deliveries? :laugh: I like muffins...!

And the police shatter through a heavily-stickered dorm-room door, guns raised.

"ILLEGAL MUFFIN RACKET!" they snarl.

And Phoenixflame creeps out from behind her bed, kicking a box of fat-free muffins into a corner.
