McDonalds Menu Foods From Breakfast to Happy Meal Toys & Dollar Menu Items

The McDonalds Egg White Delight McMuffin sandwich is a nice addition to the fast food restaurant's breakfast menu for their dine in or drive thru service. This new item comes without the egg yolk which adds more cholesterol to the breakfast item. McDonald's is also offering the ability to ask for egg whites only in any of the morning sandwiches at this writing. This is a great step to making fast food breakfasts a little healthier for those always on the go.

Sometimes, there's not enough time in the morning to make a proper breakfast and heading to the drive thru to order something from the breakfast menu is the last resort. Others prefer the quick and easy convenience of drive thru breakfasts. You can get some food, orange juice, coffee, milk and whatever else you need to fuel you for the beginning of the day. Sometimes the savings in time outweigh the healthy eating needs for that day for that specific day.

For those that are super health conscious or on strict diets due to medical issues, fast food breakfast is not an option. Others limit it to only now and again depending on the situation as mentioned above. You'll have to read the McDonalds nutrition facts and calories information on the wrapper and/or on their website to decide for yourself. The fact that McDonalds prints the information right on the wrapper is convenient, though. This openness is appreciated and help everyday people as well as parents make informed decisions about their food. This may be mandated or not, but it's nice nonetheless.

This Egg McMuffin is made with grilled egg whites, white chedder cheese, and lean canadian bacon. They also boast 8 grams of whole grain in the muffins.

Fast food menu items are known to be unhealthy, but large fast food restaurants like McDonalds are adding healthier items to the menu like the ability to ask for egg whites only as well as more grains in the muffins used in the breakfast items. Still, the calories are fairly high and levels of other things like sodium remain at elevated levels due to the meat used in the sandwiches. But, if you are always in a rush in the morning and looking for a slightly healthier fast food option from the McDonalds breakfast menu, check out the new McDonalds Egg White Delight McMuffin breakfast sandwich.
