A breakfast sandwich

Whether you’re running late for work or traveling, sometimes rolling through the drive through for a coffee and breakfast is the only thing you have time for. However, eating a fast-food breakfast does not mean you have to sacrifice food quality. Pastries can be tempting because they’re easy to eat on-the-go, but they tend to be loaded with sugar and fat. Additionally, it is important to remember that not all breakfast sandwiches are created equal. The Beyond Sausage® Breakfast Sandwich from Dunkin’ Donuts might sound like a healthy option because it is made with plant-based protein. However, it actually offers just as much fat as it does protein, making it a high calorie choice. Alternatively, the Veggie Egg White Omelet Sandwich is a leaner vegetarian option to fuel your body with a good source of protein (for half the amount of fat) so you can Eat This, Not That!
