I stopped by McDonalds today for breakfast, because our cafeteria is closed.

I figured I would get the Sausage/Egg Biscuit, because it is probably the most healthy choice (no cheese).

Calories: 510
Fat Grams: 33
Carb Grams: 36
Protein Grams: 18

WTF! 33g of Fat in that tiny sandwich?!

It was pretty good though... 🙂

What in the fsck made you think eggs and sausage were low in fat or calories no matter where it's made?

Do you now think McDonald's somehow adds fat to the eggs and sausage?

And people wonder why restaurants were so resistant to displaying nutritional info.

Turkey sausage + Eggbeaters?

Anyways, as long as its only an occasional trip to McD's, it's not something I'd get too worked up about.

Why would anyone think that anything with sausage is healthy?


 
Healthy choice would be just a plain egg mcmuffin with no cheese. Sausage adds a lot of fat, as does the butter and crap in the biscuit.
 
McDonald's breakfast is so fucking awesome. I should've thought about it earlier, I could've ran there quick from work before 10:30.

I buy the Jimmy Dean "Delights" sausage, egg & cheese biscuts from Sam's Club. A box of 10 is around $10.

290 calories in those. The sausage is turkey sausage so that helps a little. No clue where else they shave the calories off from.

Because that's not what people want.

An egg anywhere is 6 grams of fat.

A sausage patty from Jimmy Dean is 22 grams of fat. McDonald's is doing better with 15 grams.

Biscuits are made with BUTTERMILK. McDonald's biscuits have 12 grams of fat. The muffin is the healthier choice.

See bolded part above. Out of those three the egg is the healthiest by far.
 
They might have fruit cups, so that would have been the healthier way to go (unless OP really just wanted a breakfast sandwich).

99% of people don't think turkey sausage + eggbeaters when asked if they want 'Sausage and Eggs'. At least I wouldn't think so.

Actually, Egg Beaters are made with real egg. They just leave out the yolk...which is where all the fat and cholesterol are.
 
It cracks me up when people complain about McDonald's.

As I said, this is why restaurants are so resistant to posting nutritional info.

Hell, can you imagine these idiots when they go to their favorite Italian or French restaurant after they're forced to post nutritonal info and they shit their pants upon seeing their favorite dinner totals 2500 calories and over 150 grams of fat???

Yeah, McDonald's is so bad...

So I actually made it in time and got the 2 burritos meal and picked my co-worker up some hotcakes. WIN.

Maybe it is from leaving out the feathers? 😛

I like the McGriddles or the breakfast burritos too. 🙂

And, 2500 calories is on the low side for some meals.

? Spaghetti & Meatballs with meat sauce. The following nutrition numbers are not typos: Romano?s rendition of this classic dish provides more than an entire day?s calories (2,430) and nearly three days? worth of saturated fat?an astonishing 57 grams. If you like meat, you could eat two Macaroni Grill Tuscan Rib-Eye steak dinners and inflict less damage. Or you could eat six Quarter Pounders for the same effect on your waistline.

? New York Cheesecake or Tiramisu. Order a 1,000-calorie slice of cheesecake or tiramisu and you might as well finish off your meal with an untrimmed 16-ounce T-bone steak with five pats of butter. The cheesecake and tiramisu each have about 2 days? worth of saturated fat; the deep-fried ?Dessert Ravioli? has 1,630 calories and 1½ days? bad fat.

?Keep in mind that these numbers don?t include any of Macaroni Grill?s peasant bread or Olive Garden?s unlimited breadsticks and salad,? said Liebman. ?Nor do they include 1,000-calorie appetizers like fried calamari.

You could easily exceed 5000 calories. And, I'll point out that you need to keep in mind that the above quote doesn't include the 2 or 3 free refills of soda, or a couple beers. And, we haven't even started talking about sodium yet. A lot of the larger chain restaurants are horrible for sodium - all that extra sodium helps make their otherwise inferior, bulk purchased goods taste a little better.
