With options like sausage, egg and cheese biscuits and fried hash brown potatoes, finding a healthy breakfast on-the-go can be a challenge. But a handful of healthy options can be found at fast food outlets, CBS News reported.
Nutritionist Tanya Zuckerbrot, contributor to Cooking Light magazine, gave viewers of "The Early Show" on CBS the lowdown on eating a healthy breakfast on the run.
If you're getting your caffeine fix at Starbucks, go for the Protein Plate: a combo of fruit, peanut butter, a hard boiled egg and a mini bagel that totals 370 calories, 5 grams of fiber and 17 grams each of protein and fat, CBS reported.
What should you order at McDonald's?
Try a side of scrambled eggs with an English muffin, strawberry preserves and a large coffee -- all of that comes in at just 365 calories and it has half as much sodium as an Egg McMuffin.
Burger King's three-piece French toast strips with a one-ounce container of syrup make a healthy breakfast option for those with a sweet tooth, Zuckerbrot said on "The Early Show". The sticks and syrup come in at 300 calories with 11 grams of fat.
Subway lovers can go for the Western egg white and cheese muffin melt if they want a healthy option to start the day. The meal manages to pack 15 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber into a 160 calorie muffin.
Dunkin' Donuts makes an Egg White & Cheese Wake-Up Wrap -- part of its new DDSMart menu -- that has 25 percent less fat and calories than the "usual fast food fixins", CBS reported. The wrap comes in at 150 calories with 6 grams of fat. It does, however, pack in 520 mg of sodium.
Zuckerbrot also reminds us that eating any breakfast (even an unhealthy one and even if you're dieting), is better than not eating breakfast, which makes these fast food picks seem like good choices if you need a healthy meal on the run.

8-13-2010 @8:41AM Ice said... The article is about breakfast "on the go". There are always healthier choices, but when I'm on the go and have to eat out this will help with my decision on what to eat.
And sorry................. fast food isn't going to kill you unless you're eating it everyday.................... so, relax and eat that Egg McMuffin with a smile!

8-20-2010 @9:37AM xplorer224 said... ordered a couple of egg croissants from a major fast food chain one morning last january and an hour later i was being rolled into ER. Travelling in a camper gave me the perfect excuse to eat fast food for breakfast every morning. Blood clot completely cut off circulation to a portion of my cerebellum.
Its quite natural to be hungry in the morning. Breakfast means literally to "break" the "fast" of not eating during sleep. Advertising food to hungry people who dont have time to cook/prepare it is like calling pigs to their slaughter. Especially if the food is deadly
.Wake up people. The threat is real. Im not an advertiser and am not making any of this up. Get yourself a bowl of whole grain cereal and a piece of fruit. You have been warned.

8-12-2010 @7:14PM momschlep said... My usual, when I'm in a rush is either an egg mc muffin WAIT hold the cheese, meat and butter. Just the egg on an english muffin. OR at Dunkin Donuts, Egg white on a dry toasted english muffin. Either way, about 2oo calories, low fat, high protein.

Every morning I warm up a bowl of brown rice, top it with a lil' dollop of Smart Balance spread, and have two slices of Morningstar Farms bacon strips and a bit of whatever fruit I have available. Perfectly healthy breakfast, takes me LESS THAN 5 MINUTES, and I'm ready to take on the day knowing I have started out with healthy choices, and makes healthy choices easier the rest of the day. Kill Fast Food...Before it Kills YOU!!!
