Breakfast on the go has become a modern morning ritual, with egg sandwiches leading the fast food charge.
Not all breakfast options are created equal, though – some pack enough calories and sodium to derail your entire day before it even starts.
Here are 15 well-liked fast food egg sandwiches that may cause you to reevaluate your daily routine.
1. McDonald’s Big Breakfast With Hotcakes
Whoa! This monster morning meal delivers a whopping 1,340 calories and 64g of fat – practically your entire day’s worth in one sitting!
The sodium levels? Nearly 2,090mg, leaving you bloated before noon hits. Skip this caloric catastrophe unless you’re planning to hibernate afterward.
2. Burger King’s Double Croissan’wich With Double Sausage
Ever wondered how many calories hide in this flaky monstrosity? A jaw-dropping 700! Two sausage patties nestled between eggs and cheese create a sodium bomb of 1,510mg.
Though tempting with its buttery layers, your arteries might stage a revolt after this morning indulgence. Your heart deserves better treatment!
3. Hardee’s Monster Biscuit
If cholesterol concerns aren’t on your radar, this beast might change that! Stacking bacon, sausage, ham AND egg on a butter-soaked biscuit creates a 730-calorie morning mistake.
The 47g of fat here represents nearly 75% of your daily recommendation. Perhaps ‘Monster’ refers to what your cholesterol becomes afterward? Share your thoughts if you’ve survived this one!
4. Sonic’s SuperSONIC Breakfast Burrito
Holy guacamole! This tortilla torpedo packs a staggering 830 calories and 54g of fat – that’s more than some entire dinners!
Though the jalapeños add a kick, they can’t distract from the 1,670mg of sodium lurking within. Where does Sonic expect you to store all those calories before lunch? Maybe consider splitting this with three friends!
5. Carl’s Jr. Loaded Breakfast Burrito
Loaded? More like overloaded! Wrapped in a flour tortilla, this morning missile has 760 calories and an incredible 41g of fat.
What if I told you it contains more sodium (1,530mg) than you should consume in half a day? The eggs get lost among sausage, bacon, ham, and three types of cheese. Definitely not the breakfast champ you’re looking for!
6. Taco Bell’s Breakfast Crunchwrap With Sausage
Hence the name “Crunchwrap” – your arteries might actually make a crunching sound after consuming this 730-calorie morning mistake! The 47g of fat and 1,290mg of sodium create a perfect storm of unhealthiness.
Though cleverly designed for one-handed eating, perhaps both hands should be used to put it back down. Has anyone actually felt good after eating this?
7. Wendy’s Breakfast Baconator
Baconator? More like Cardiac-Arrestor! A startling 1,750 mg of salt, 50g of fat, and 730 calories are all included in this morning monster.
Six strips of bacon, a sausage patty, and American cheese make this a protein powerhouse at the expense of your heart health. The Swiss cheese sauce feels like overkill on an already over-the-top sandwich. Would you dare eat this regularly?
8. Dunkin’ Sausage, Egg & Cheese Croissant
However tempting with its flaky exterior, this croissant conceals 700 calories and 51g of fat within its buttery layers. The 1,120mg of sodium might have you reaching for water all morning.
Though not the absolute worst offender, it’s certainly no nutritional champion. The processed sausage and American cheese combo delivers more chemicals than your body deserves at daybreak.
9. Starbucks’ Double-Smoked Bacon & Cheddar Sandwich
Though seemingly sophisticated compared to other fast food offerings, this artisanal-looking sandwich still packs 500 calories and 27g of fat. Your health objectives are compromised, even though the bacon may be double-smoked!
Where does all that sodium (920mg) hide in such a relatively small package? Between fancy bread slices, apparently! At least pair it with black coffee instead of a sugar-loaded Frappuccino.
10. Jack In The Box’s Loaded Breakfast Sandwich
What if I told you this sandwich contains 707 calories and almost your entire day’s worth of sodium (1,452mg)? The three meats (bacon, ham, AND sausage) create a protein overload that’s wholly unnecessary.
Though the sourdough bread offers a nice change from typical breakfast buns, it can’t redeem this nutritional nightmare. Would your morning routine really suffer without this excessive indulgence?
11. Panera’s Sausage, Egg & Cheese on Asiago Cheese Bagel
Fancy restaurant vibes can’t disguise the 680 calories and 34g of fat hiding in this deceptively unhealthy option.
By alone, the Asiago cheese bagel has more refined carbohydrates than most people should consume before midday!
Panera advertises healthy ingredients, but this sandwich didn’t get the message. All day long, your body will be digesting the 1,340 mg of salt that sausage and cheese provide.
12. Chick-fil-A’s Hash Brown Scramble Burrito
Those adorable hash brown nuggets inside this burrito help push it to 700 calories and 40g of fat! Adding jalapeño salsa doesn’t magically transform this into a healthy choice.
Though the chicken option is slightly better than sausage, the 1,330mg of sodium remains problematic. Seems like Chick-fil-A’s breakfast menu requires the same caution as their lunch offerings. Anyone else surprised by these numbers?
13. Einstein Bros. Chorizo Sunrise Egg Sandwich
Spicy chorizo might wake up your taste buds, but the 710 calories and 47g of fat could put your health goals back to sleep!
Under the posh bagel veneer, this sandwich has 1,420 mg of salt.
Healthy fats are added by the avocado spread, but they cannot make up for anything else. Perhaps the next time, ask for half the chorizo. Your blood pressure will appreciate it!
14. Subway’s Bacon, Egg & Cheese Flatbread
Even Subway’s breakfast offerings can’t escape the unhealthy list! 460 calories and 21g of fat make up this flatbread dish, which is moderate when compared to others but nevertheless troublesome because of its small size.
The 1,370mg of sodium lurking within this unassuming sandwich might make your fingers swell before lunchtime. At least request extra veggies to boost the nutritional value if you’re committed to this morning mistake!
15. Tim Hortons’ Farmer’s Breakfast Wrap
Oh, Canada! This seemingly innocent wrap packs 640 calories and 41g of fat – hardly the fuel a hardworking farmer would choose!
The hash brown stuffed INSIDE creates a carb-on-carb situation your body doesn’t need at daybreak. Though the grilled tortilla looks healthier than a biscuit, the 1,060mg of sodium tells a different story. Are you really starting your day right with this choice?
