CARROT ZUCCHINI APPLE MUFFINS

A friend gave me this muffin recipe and they are delicious! However, I do not know the caloric value but the 1 cup of veg oil and 3 eggs are sure to subtract from the healthy aspect. I would love to substitute these two ingredients. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Other than that, the muffins disappeared in one day!
