Doing breakfast right…at McDonald's?
Doing breakfast right…at McDonald’s?
So I was watching the morning news while I was getting ready for work and an announcer said, “You only get one breakfast, so do it right.”
I thought this might lead into an ad for one of those semi-healthy breakfast cereals that promise “whole grains” and then deliver more carbs than FrootLoops – something like that.
It turned out to be a pitch for a McDonald’s special offer: Two bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits for the price of one.
You only get one breakfast? How is that only ONE breakfast?
And as for the “doing it right” part, I checked the McDonald’s web site. Here are the nutrition totals for two of these B.E.&C. biscuit creations:
- 860 calories
- 24 grams of saturated fat
- Zero grams of trans fats per serving (but you know how THAT goes – the biscuits and eggs are prepared with liquid margarine)
- 74 grams of carbohydrates
- 3,690 mg of sodium
Yikes! If that’s doing it right, I’ll take whatever’s wrong, please.
