I'm going out to the Waffle House today. What is the healthiest option?

    Egg whites, Grilled Chicken Breast, Glass of Orange Juice. They do charge extra for holding the yolk though

    Bacon is a major fear food for me. Too much fat and cholesterol.

    Scrambled eggs w/ bacon. Mmmm... Love Waffle House. Too bad I live in Minnesota. Nearest one is about 600 miles.

    Two main choices ... either be super careful (egg whites, etc.) or have some fun and just watch the rest of the day.

    Assuming that this is kind of a special event, not something you do all the time, that's the way I'd play it. Make it your big meal for the day, make sure to get in some good exercise time, and call it all good enough.

    Thanks. I think egg whites and chicken breasts are good choices, but not sure about the orange juice. Isn't it pure sugar?

    You need fat.... And haven't they shown that dietary cholesterol doesn't effect blood cholesterol?

    Pretty much. Haven't touched the stuff in 2.5 years.

    There's nothing wrong with sugar unless that's all you eat/drink throughout the day. Some people might even say orange juice is better than other things with sugar.

    If you don't like it, don't get it, but don't just avoid it because it's got sugar.

    Me...I'm all about scrambled eggs and sausages. Maybe some toast :)

    PS fat and cholesterol aren't bad either unless it's in massive excess.

    I love Waffle House too! Eat there maybe 4 or 5 times per year. The last time I just enjoyed a really good meal (cheesy eggs, country ham (killed my sodium), and hashbrowns), came in at about 1000 cals. The rest of the day I stayed under 600 cals to come in under 1600 and did some extra walking. It was a good day!

    Yesterday's Elvis Duran and the morning show called Waffle Houses asking for 'dumbass'. Hilarious http://www.1031kcda.com/articles/elvis-duran-phone-taps-485662/elvis-calls-diners-looking-for-dumbass-13650550/

    I dont see anything wrong with eating the whole egg..i do it every day, my cholesterol is good and I have lost 59lbs. I am going to IHOP today...breakfast will be veggie omelet and fruit bowl. The main thing you have to watch eating out is the sodium...

    Np idea, but maybe if you go to a waffle place then have waffles or soemthing you enjoy. Portion control is your friend.

    How about this: Egg white fiesta omelet (no cheese), sliced tomatoes, and dry toast?

    If I get something not healthy, I'll just eat half.

    I'm not sure why people are suggesting egg whites. A lot of the healthy stuff in eggs is actually in the yolk. Also, just eating the egg white is a waste, during a time when there is a shortage of eggs.

    Healthy is relative ;)

    Most of the time when I go to a restaurant, I'll eat half of the food I order and eat the rest the next day or for another meal later that day.

    Because egg whites are low calorie.
