Weekly Habit for Jan 22: Skip the Fast Food for Breakfast

For this week, let’s avoid the morning drive-thrus for breakfast. It’s way too easy to pick up a biscuit and hashbrowns every morning, and way too many calories. Instead, grab a bite at home or take something along to eat once you get to work.
In case you’re wondering how bad it can be, check out some of these calorie counts.

• a sausage mcgriddle sandwich at McDonald’s: 400 calories. (No, that does not include egg and cheese)
• One McDonald’s hash brown: 150 calories
• Burger King enormous omelet sandwich: 740 calories. (Sure glad I didn’t have one of those last week. That’s a whole weeks’ worth of guilt right there!)
• Burger King large hash rounds: 390 calories
• Hardee’s loaded omelet biscuit: 640 calories
• Hardee’s hot ham and cheese: 420 calories

I tend to make one or two fast food stops a week for breakfast, so that’s an obvious place to cut out some calories. Let’s try it for a week, shall we?
