Let's face it, we all eat fast food every now and then. The key is making the right choice when we do. So if you find yourself in the drive-thru in the morning, check out these best fast food choices. You actually may be surprised by the choices...
The Egg McMuffin is a better choice under the golden arches at 290 calories, 12 g fat, 5 g saturated fat, and 4 g fiber. Lean Canadian bacon offers protein and a meaty taste with much less fat. Note that it's high in sodium: 740 mg. You could choose the Egg White Delight McMuffin. It has 250 calories, 7 g fat, 3 g saturated fat, and 4 g fiber. But at 770 mg, it also has a lot of sodium.
The Egg & Cheese Croissan’wich has 330 calories, 18 g fat, and 8 g saturated fat. The sodium count may be tough for limited diets at 620 mg. Eleven grams of protein will help keep you feeling full until lunch.
The Spinach & Feta Breakfast Wrap is a better pick. It has 290 calories, 10 g fat, and 3.5 g saturated fat. It's also packed with protein (19 g) and fiber (6 g) to help keep you full. Steel-Cut Oatmeal with Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats is another good choice at 160 calories before toppings. Or try the Greek Yogurt with Honey Parfait with 260 calories.
You can slim down with the 3-inch Egg & Cheese Sandwich with egg whites for a better choice at Subway. It has only 190 calories, 7 g fat, 2.5 g saturated fat, 9 g protein, 460 mg sodium, and 6 g fiber. Add tomatoes, green peppers, cucumbers, or other low-calorie choices to boost the flavor.
