One of the better (nutritionally) breakfasts at McD's is the Egg
McMuffin. That's what I get when I'm stuck going there for breakfast.
BK has a sandwich almost just like it on their dollar menu, but I
think it's made with sausage. The important thing is getting an
English muffin sandwich and not a biscuit sandwich. That, and not
ordering fries or hashbrowns with it. ;-)

I usually eat rolled oats raw when I have them for breakfast. Just
soak them in milk for a few minutes, then stir in a little bit of
something sugary and crunchy to make it interesting -- like frosted
raisin bran.

Steel-cut oats get cooked the night before, then warmed up in the
morning with dried fruit and a little cream.

I used to stop there occasionally for a McMuffin & coffee on my way to
work, but I learned quickly that although I like their hash browns
(after blotting well)... the old adage "a moment on the lips, a
lifetime on the hips" was all too true.

The two breakfast meals at Mickey Dee's with the least calories are the
Egg Mac and the sausage burrito (just one). They're each 350 calories
with the majority of that being fat. I eat at the local spot one or two
times a week with the ROMEO's, Retired Old Men Eating Out. All veterans,
all retired from the oil patch like me, and all running from about 70 to
near 90. Good crew, we have solved all the problems of the world several
times now but no one listens.

Generally at home I either eat a whole what bagel with some whipped
cream cheese, or a bowl of oatmeal with cinnamon and skim milk plus a
shot of Splenda. Sunday mornings I usually make a hash brown, fake egg,
bacon or sausage, sweet chiles and onions, fritata for DW and I. If not
it is just scrambled fake eggs with toast.

Sausage McMuffin has no egg, otherwise it's the same thing, for only a buck.
If you watch your cholesterol, that's not a bad thing. Or you can pay well
over double for the same thing with an "egg". Or, you can get the BK
breakfast muffin (I forget what they call it) and that includes egg for a
buck.
