Calories in a typical pumpkin
muffin:
At this size, home baked,
about 250-350. The larger
muffins from starbucks, DD
and other chains 450-600
Calories saved: 150-500!
What do those calories look
like? 150 calories looks like
a good 20-25 minutes on the
elliptical. 500 calories is
about an hours worth of
running!
300-450 calories is the
amount in a meal….so is it
worth it to go buy that
muffin out or make it at
home?
