Breakfast is important, but don't eat these things!

    sure makes you think twice about putting these things in your mouth!
  • Wow! Super interesting! Thanks!
  • I read that yesterday. It's amazing isn't it!?!?!?!
  • Their "eat this instead" still makes me cringe:

    Burger King Egg & Cheese Croissan'wich
    * 300 calories
    * 17 g fat (6 g saturated; 2 g trans)
    * 740 mg sodium
    * 26 g carbs

    Good grief. I could fix myself eggs and bacon and cheese on a whole wheat english muffin for about the same calories and 1/2 the fat, 1/4 of the sodium, and fewer carbs.

    Scary.

  • These meals are for people-on-the-go. I am always running out the door, but I have gotten into the habit of having a yogurt, bananna or some other fruit, and coffee. That or cereal. Inexpensive and better for me.
  • I'm a robot in the morning, LOL, scoop cottage cheese, kashi bar, coffee and a pear when i get to work

    i can't be expected to THINK 1st thing in the morning heheheh
  • I eat breakfast sitting down at home, even though it means getting up earlier to do it. My hubby has less time in the morning than I do, because I frequently will wait until after I've dropped him off at work and done my workout before getting a shower. He's gotten in the habit of making several egg and biscuit or egg and toast sandwiches on the weekend and refridgerating them for future breakfasts.

    Not only are they a lot healthier than ANYTHING offered by McD's or BK, but they save us a ton of money!

    Same here. I'd probably scrape the side of my car if I had to go into a drive-through.

    Yup. This is so easy to do and so much healthier than the fast-food alternative.
