Grabbing a muffin or pastry for breakfast is akin to eating dessert first thing in the morning. Even those branded as "healthy" can be sugar bombs, especially with chocolate or scant fruit content. Opt for fruit-based muffins rarely, and note that most pastries are brimming with saturated fats. Savory muffins with veggies and less sugar might be a better bet, but save pastries for special treats.
