The One Breakfast Sandwich You Should NEVER Order At A Fast Food Restaurant Because It’s SO Bad For You

Burger King Double CROISSAN'WICH with Sausage

A good rule of thumb when ordering fast food is to avoid any menu item with "double" or "triple" in the name since that usually means it contains way more food than you need. The same holds true for breakfast sandwiches, and this "double croissan'wich" in particular.

This breakfast sandwich includes eggs, two slices of American cheese, and two sausage patties.

And those ingredients definitely add up.

According to Eat This, Not That!, this breakfast sandwich contains 710 calories, 20 grams of saturated fat, and 1,420 milligrams of sodium.

To put this in perspective, most adults are recommended to eat around 2,000 calories per day. The daily recommended intake of saturated fat is 16 to 22 grams. For sodium, it's less than 2,300 milligrams--and preferably closer to 1,500.

This one breakfast sandwich take s up a huge chunk of these recommended daily values.

This can be a problem for your diet and overall health.

According to the FDA, "Eating too much saturated fat and sodium, for example, is associated with an increased risk of developing some health conditions, like cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure."

With that in mind, next time you go to the drive thru, make a point of skipping this breakfast sandwich.
