the muffins are the only things that look good and aren't too many carbs. Some of the ingredients i would take out or substitute for lower fat or lower carb count.

These look good if your looking to add muscle, but i'm on a cutting program and most of these are a little too high on carbs. I will however use these as a healthy sub for a cheat meal. Still a good article!
