When you’re craving a yummy breakfast but don’t have a lot of time to eat it, fast food restaurants can be an easy solution. Everyone knows that fast food restaurants are notoriously unhealthy, but it isn’t the end of the world to indulge a craving every once in a while.
But before you start ordering a fast food breakfast, there is one thing you should know.
The Wendy’s bacon, egg and cheese sandwich is a popular choice for a morning meal and it doesn’t seem too unhealthy because it contains a high amount of protein. But it is loaded with another ingredient that can really destroy your diet.
This breakfast sandwich is extremely high in carbs and saturated fat. Most people know how carbs can slow down your metabolism and cause you to gain weight, but the truth is that saturated fat is even worse for you.
Saturated fat is the worst type of fat you can eat. It can cause cholesterol to build up in your arteries, which can raise your risk for a plethora of health problems like heart disease and stroke.
Instead of a Wendy’s breakfast sandwich high in saturated fats that can harm your health, try making your own breakfast sandwich at home. You can substitute bacon for sausage to keep the fat content down.
