Lose Weight By Eating

These double chocolate protein muffins are HUGE! Plus they are just 186 calories and 7.2g of protein.

I cut the calories and sugar with zero calorie all-natural sugar (made form sugar cane!) but you could use any sugar you like.

Special Tip: These protein muffins are BIG, and make a great meal. You can make smaller muffins by dividing the batter between 20 muffin tins.
