agree with hotmama. the eggs i eat are 70 each. something is slightly off here. perhaps you forgot to add something in your calculation?0

Isn't this for one serving?? That's how I read it..-1

I ended up with about 350 calories per serving.
-English muffin: 100-120 calories typically. I used 110.
-Large eggs: 70 calories each
-Bacon: assumed 1 slice, approx. 70 calories, but could vary widely
-Cheddar cheese: 80-120 calories. I went with 100.

I imagine it depends a lot on what type of cheese and bacon you use. I think slices like Kraft singles are lower in calories. At any rate, if somebody needs instructions on how to make this, I don't want them anywhere near my kitchen.0

This would make me extremely fat, fast. It's got like twice the calories you think.0

I think Gsd is right (also, why would someone flag their comment? Wowwww), it looks like this is per serving. The calories vary depending on the type/brand of cheese and muffins you use. So instead of complaining, you could take it for what it is: An addition to the recipes section of the site. Also, not everyone uses this section specifically for recipes. Some people are planning out their meals and going "Hmm what sounds good today...oh a breakfast sandwich, that'd be tasty" and might not even make the exact same sandwich he has posted, but got the idea from seeing the post.

Because it's not his recipe.-1

Doesn't matter--recipes aren't subject to copyright law. D!ck move to not cite his source, but he's not "breaking the law" as it were.
One should distinguish between a recipe, a textual rendering of a recipe, and a compilation of recipes. Publications Intl. v. Meredith, 88 F.3d 473 (7th Cir. 1996) dealt with alleged infringement of a recipe book.
“The identification of ingredients necessary for the preparation of each dish is a statement of facts. There is no expressive element in each listing; in other words, the author who wrote down the ingredients for “Curried Turkey and Peanut Salad” was not giving literary expression to his individual creative labors. Instead, he was writing down an idea, namely, the ingredients necessary to the preparation of a particular dish. “[N]o author may copyright facts or ideas. The copyright is limited to those aspects of the work–termed ‘expression’–that display the stamp of the author’s originality.” Harper & Row, 471 U.S. at 547, 105 S.Ct. at 2223. We do not view the functional listing of ingredients as original within the meaning of the Copyright Act.
As the Supreme Court stated in Feist: Facts, whether alone or as part of a compilation, are not original and therefore may not be copyrighted. A factual compilation is eligible for copyright if it features an original selection or arrangement of facts, but the copyright is limited to the particular selection or arrangement. In no event may copyrights extend to the facts themselves. Feist, 499 U.S. at 350-51, 111 S.Ct. at 1290.

I know this is a generic recipe, but it was lifted nearly word for word from the Sargento website. You've linked credit for previous recipes before; why not some of the more recent ones? The original creators deserve some credit for writing it out.

All that says is the listing of ingredients is not copyright protected, however the directions can be if you read more about it. Which is something that he nearly copies verbatim for nearly all his recipes, then trolls and says they are his own recipes. The best is when he screws up copying nutrition information and the formatting gets all screwed up, a clear indication of copy pasting yet he denies. Of course he's not the only one in this section, another user is the only one who seems to suffer from uploading pics to an image hosting site and for that user only it removes the watermark.
Also for instance if you went to the terms of use for Sargento, perhaps scroll down and see what content they have protected by copyright and ip laws.
What is interesting at any other food site or forum, posting recipes without attribution repeatedly results in perma bans, even quicker when the poster actually tries to say the recipes are their own, when it's obvious to everyone they are not. For whatever reason the mods here let him do as he pleases, attack other users, troll, post threads that have a negative impact etc all things they will give out bans to other users for-2 -

I think it was moreso that this was lifted word from word from another website, rather than written in their own words.-1 -

Another proof never to trust nutrition info found in recipes anywhere!

This is correct. Also bad moral judgement to steal work that isn't yours
And we got flagged for abuse for our responses, @__drmerc__.0
