Question

Analyze why Claire has gained weight in the following scenario.

Claire has swapped her breakfast of an egg and muffin sandwich every morning for a single blueberry muffin in order to make healthier decisions and ultimately to lose weight. After three weeks of doing this, she actually gained weight.

Answer 1

blueberry muffins contain more sugar and bread

Answer 2

Blueberry Muffins are high in sugars and carbohydrates. The bread contained in the muffin will ultimately turn into a sugar complex in the body as it is being broken down.

Also, the muffin lacks in protein, which is essential to weight loss!
