Worst Combo
Meal
McDonald’s Deluxe Breakfast
1,360 calories
64 g fat (22 g saturated)
2,325 mg sodium
160 g carbs
49 g sugars
With four vehicles for refined carbohydrates (biscuit, hash
browns, hotcakes, syrup), this “deluxe” disaster
will send your blood sugar soaring. Why blow nearly an entire
day’s calories under the arches, when a perfectly satisfying
Egg McMuffin will save you more than 1,000 calories?
Eat This Instead!
McDonald’s Egg McMuffin with coffee
310 calories
12 g fat (5 g saturated)
820 mg sodium
30 g carbs
3 g sugars
Worst Omelet
IHOP Big Steak Omelet
1,490 calories
(No additional nutrition information available)
IHOP doesn’t provide nutritional information aside from
calorie counts, but with a boatload of steak, a bucket of cheese,
and handfuls of hash browns, this omelet’s fat and sodium
numbers are surely just as appalling.
Eat This Instead!
IHOP For Me Garden Scramble
440 calories
The Worst Breakfast
in America
Bob Evans Stacked and Stuffed Caramel Banana Pecan Hotcakes
1,543 calories
77 g fat (26 g saturated; 9 g trans)
2,259 mg sodium
198 g carbs
109 g sugars
It’s not a good
sign when it takes you nearly five seconds to spit out the name
of your breakfast. This bad boy packs in more than 75 percent
of your calories for the day, along with more sugar and fat
than nine glazed Dunkin’ Donuts, and nearly as much sodium
as five Bloody Marys.
Eat This Instead!
3 Scrambled Egg Beaters with 2 slices of bacon and fresh fruit
314 calories
19.5 g fat (5 g saturated)
700 mg sodium
21 g carbs
18 g sugars
