Good morning, I'm new here and I'm just not ready to give up my fast food breakfast.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I can eat at fast food places that is not that bad?:drinker:

    for breakfast the best is an egg mcmuffin no has browns. the egg has protien, the english muffin although has white flour is better than a biscuit and the canadian bacon is low in cals. total cals = 340

    I agree with the previous post:

    Dunkin Doughnuts egg white tortilla wrap or Subway's whole wheat english muffin with eggwhites, cheese, and turkey!

    I get a plain english muffin and hashbrowns from McDonald's and make it a sandwich I can eat on the run.

    Subway bread is very, very bad. The wheat breads are just white bread with dyes added. The whole grain breads have more high fructose corn syrup than whole grains (less than 2% whole grain). They add ammonium sulfate (helps the yeasts) which is used in chemical fertilizers. All the breads contain high fructose corn syrup.

    Count the calories towards you daily goal and you should be ok. It's not healthy at and might make you go over in sodium, carbs, fat, etc. But it can be done.

    I LOVE the mcdonalds oatmeal too!! It's best to get it without the brown sugar. That takes it from being 290 cals to 260 and 30 some grams of sugar(more then you should have in a day) to 18.

    Also their fruit and yogurt parfait is pretty tasty.. or the fruit and walnut salad!

    Subway serves the breakfast sandwiches on a light wheat english muffin - you can ask for bread if you want, but the come on the english muffin. And ask for the eggs to be egg white only.

    I did not want to give up my fast food breakfast either until I developed an obsession with fast food! I realized when I could not find jeans in my size it was time to give up fast food. I still crave fast food like crazy althought I am sure this will go away with time. I was use to having biscuts and gravy with a large coke and a side of bacon evey morning. Now I eat healthy and have been for 3 days and have lost 4 pounds. I am sure its water weight but it is 4 pounds. So please reconsider your fast food breakfast. There are plenty of healthy and easy breakfast items you can get at the store. :)

    Jamba Juice's Berry Fulfilling Light Smoothie is my go-to when I need to get breakfast on the run. 150 calories for a 16oz smoothie, 6grams of protein, only 200mg of sodium. And it tastes like berries and goodness. :)

    If you must have hash browns, then, in the UK at least, McDs is better than Burger King. Or you could get a bagel.

    Really? How did you find this out? I'd love to read more about it as I frequently eat Subway as a healthy option! Thanks=)
