I'm going to Big Boys for breakfast tomorrow with my dad, and I haven't eaten out in so long, it's almost a nightmare thinking about what I'm going to have. Sucks lol.

What can I get that isn't sky high in calories? I know they have egg beaters, but how do they make it? And how many eggs, and do they butter them? I can't find a good site that has all the nutritional information. Anyone have any experience going out to Big Boys, trying to fit in a good meal?

The oatmeal, anyone know the calories? With the milk.

I wanted to get the cheese omelette (mozerella) with 2 slices of toast. but that all seems like its 400 plus calories, when at home it would be so much lesssss.

    It's one meal with your dad. Just make a reasonable choice and don't worry about it. If I could have one more meal with my dad I'd blow a whole years budget to do it. Life isn't all about counting calories.

    Well said.

    I found this hope it helps:


    Big Boy breakfast choices, when eaten a la carte rather than a la sausage, butter, syrup or cheese, can be some of the lower calorie choices on the menu, Diet Facts and My Fitness Pal note. Chow down on a plain adult order of French toast, made with egg bread, for 365 calories. Go for a Health Smart Egg Beater and cheese omelet, made with three eggs, and drop the calorie count to 322. Get rid of the cheese on the omelet and dip down to 283 calories. Beware of the multigrain hotcakes, however, as a serving of three hits you with 698 calories, not even including the condiments.

    I went out for breakfast last weekend (local place), and was able to find the nutritional info ahead of time-had an amazing order of baked oatmeal with raisins, almonds and apples for 300 calories (it was made with water and then they gave me a cup of warm milk to pour on top, which I skipped). Oatmeal by itself is 150 calories per serving, made with water. Ask if they make it with milk and figure accordingly. A bit of apple or other fruit is not going to make a big difference-they put such a tiny amount in it.

    Go for high protein, low carbs. :) When I do breakfast out, I usually do 1-2 over easy eggs, 2 slices of bacon, and coffee. If I'm feeling splurgy, I'll have a small side of grits, oatmeal, or fruit.

    Pease porridge with bacon is always a winner.

    The last time I had breakfast at Big Boys I had 1 egg over easy, 2 slices bacon and wheat toast only ate 1/2 piece of the toast. I order toast with butter on the side.
