OMG just ate 6 cream cheese muffins!!

gwen41501 · 11-10-2009, 09:54 AM

i was totally unprepared for these they we so good i ate all six they were tiny but the carb count was 12 for them i guess i will have to eat extremely well to avoid going over my carb count for the day im glad i only made 6 i could and would have ate more im so disgusted with myself i am a pig lol they had cream cheese splenda and eggs so they we allowed but i shouldnt have ate 6

LowCarbSleepyToast · 11-10-2009, 09:55 AM

I do that with anything with splenda! Maybe with the exception of coffee.

Magicsmom · 11-10-2009, 09:58 AM

Yes, they really are that good, but calorie dense. I force myself to keep it to no more than two a day.

Mule_Freak · 11-10-2009, 10:01 AM

Oh I hear you on those little "devils" there sooo good. I only make them once or twice a year, to tempting to just munch away on them.

AllieCat0817 · 11-10-2009, 10:01 AM

OHH I forgot all about those!!!

maryvit · 11-10-2009, 10:03 AM

I can't have lc treats in the house for the same reason. Luckily, I hate the taste of cream cheese, and I'm not a baker .. works to my advantage since I have no portion control with such goodies ...

Blood Sugar 101 · 11-10-2009, 10:13 AM

When I run into a food like that, the rule is DON'T make more of them at a time than you can eat at once. Or don't make them at all.

So true and so not worth it!

cleochatra · 11-10-2009, 10:21 AM

Splenda kills me. It's like eating sugar. Could it be that for you, too?

My problem with somethings... they are so good that you can't control yourself.

Charski · 11-10-2009, 10:38 AM

I've learned to ONLY make those, and a lot of other LC desserts, when we're having company or when we're going someplace for dinner and I'm in charge of desserts! I can't stop with one or two of them.

BTW they're also great topped with a little SF jam - just sayin'....

Ilpirata · 11-10-2009, 10:42 AM

cannot and do not make them. I will ALWAYs. ALWAYS eat them all. lesson learned

Leo41 · 11-10-2009, 01:44 PM

Ditto for me (what Kisha said)

debkeversole · 11-10-2009, 01:53 PM

yup i totally understand...got the idea this weekend to bake them in the texas muffin pan and that way one with coffee would be a good size breakfast bad idea!! i ate three of them before i knew what was happening!!!

yummy!!!!!

anipomoni · 11-10-2009, 02:14 PM

I overeat these too. I felt guilty so I stopped making them. But then I realized they didn't necessarily hurt my loss so now I do make them often. Actually, I think they may even help....

Me too!! I made a dozen a few weeks ago and after 24 hours there were only two left.

I gave them to my daughter to eat, or throw away.

Now I just make a mock danish when I want a cream cheese treat...lesson learned indeed!

msgirl · 11-10-2009, 02:21 PM

Ummmmm - yep they are so good!

I eat them with sf strawberry jam!

PixieKGirl · 11-10-2009, 03:41 PM

I made these this afternoon and added pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon. OH MY GOSH!! I just ate my 3rd one. I did make my muffins really small - 24 but I need to freeze the rest of them.

Blood Sugar 101 · 11-10-2009, 03:44 PM

The problem for me with stuff like this isn't splenda, it's bready stuff.

I made that LC protein pumpkin bread last week and went through it VERY fast. Twice. So now I'm not allowed to make it for a while. <sigh>

And I'm NEVER allowed to make the cheesecakes except at holiday time, as I can go through one of those so fast it is scary!

wifey · 11-10-2009, 03:45 PM

Yup! I can't have them in my house at all or I'd eat every last one of them!

great idea!! i have a mini cupcake pan and could freeze the rest!! wouldn't be as easy that way to pop one in my mouth everytime i walk by

becky123abc · 11-10-2009, 06:45 PM

I love them, I love them, I love them!!

harley g-ma · 11-11-2009, 02:27 AM

I think I'll make some and freeze them and have one when I want something sweet(like last night)I stayed lc all day and then last night I ate a "skinny cow"left over from my WW days

It wasn't even that good,kinda dried out and I ate it anyway!It was the last one

At least the cream cheese muffins wouldn't have the carbs

Kaimi2008 · 11-11-2009, 02:30 AM

do you have the recipe?

never heard of them before.

PixieKGirl · 11-11-2009, 03:47 AM

Update: I ended up eating 4 of these muffins yesterday. They are addicting!!!

I broke a 6 week stall and dropped 2 lbs overnight. I might just eat the whole batch today. (just kidding)
