The 12 Worst Fast Food Breakfast Offenders

We don’t always have time for breakfast in the mornings that are often filled with making lunches, getting the kids ready, carpools and early morning meetings. Sometimes the easy answer is to hit the closest drive-thru and pick something up (along with that morning coffee) but some breakfast offerings pack in so much fat, sodium and calories that you’ve already hit your daily limit by the first meal of the day. We’ve done the research and found 12 of the worst fast-food breakfasts in America.

Dunkin Donuts – Glazed Donut Breakfast Sandwich

Calories: 360
Fat: 20g
Saturated Fat: 8g
Sodium: 720mg

Leave it to America’s donut experts DD to make a breakfast sandwich on a donut. The Glazed Donut Breakfast Sandwich from Dunkin Donuts features bacon strips and a pepper fried egg sandwiched between a sugary glazed donut. Yes it’s under 400 calories but we doubt these empty calories will fill you up for long.
