Commercial muffins are the worst! Two meals worth of calories sometimes.

Does that include a Tim Horten's orange carrot muffin?

Did anyone else see clippy??
If you are basing your choice solely on calories, you are most likely better off having the donut instead of the muffin.

If all that you read is everything you believe then let go, then let go, then let go.

Re: Calorie Detective: The Real Math Behind Food Labels
I think one reason they can't guarantee accuracy of prepared food is because of the variation by the person in the store who assembles it (e.g., Subway, Chipotle, Starbucks). But companies that mass-produce muffins and sandwiches (like the healthy vegan sandwich they showed) should be able to have some controls in place to ensure that calorie counts are consistent.
I also agree with IC that if calories are your only determination of what to choose, sometimes eating the donut is your lowest-cal choice!
