Bran muffins are comprised of two things your body doesn't want in the
morning: sugar and refined flour. Both will work to spike your blood
sugar, which signals your body to start storing fat and sets you up for
a mid-morning crash. And with only trace amounts of fiber, there's
nothing healthy about this misunderstood muffin. The breakfast sandwich,
on the other hand, is a surprisingly great way to start your day.
Besides having fewer calories, fat, and carbs, it also offers about 20
grams of protein, which we really need in the morning to jumpstart our
metabolism.
