2. Muffins
The vast majority of nutritionists tend to avoid selecting pastries and baked goods like muffins at fast food joints because they are overloaded with bad fats like saturated fats and trans fats, the major contributors of obesity and diabetes in the United States.
When Ilana Muhlstein, a registered dietitian and co-creator of the weight loss program, 2B Mindset, needs a quick breakfast pick-me-up at Starbucks, she never orders the apple bran muffin. “Bran, matcha, and chai are buzzy words that people immediately associate as being healthy,” says Mulhstein. “It’s so deceiving because they’re typically not.” Actually, the apple bran muffin has more fat and calories than the plain bagel at Starbucks.
