The Worst Breakfast Sandwich That Is Putting You At Risk Of Heart Disease, According To A Doctor

English Muffin Breakfast Sandwich

Before anything else, Dr. Lee emphasizes that it is so important to start your day with a great, hearty breakfast. However, when it comes to breakfast sandwiches, she believes that an English muffin breakfast sandwich with ingredients like egg, ham, bacon, and cheese has the least nutritional value. Similarly, she mentions that a buttery biscuit or croissant sandwich is also something you should avoid.

When asked about what makes a healthy breakfast sandwich, she pointed out two key components: good proteins and a bit of fiber. She explains, "Not only will it give you a good boost of energy, but it will keep you fuller, longer."

Dr. Lee adds, "You can very well replicate the same idea but use the '[healthier]' version of everything. What I like to use is a good sprouted bread vs the good ole English muffin, and one or two caged free eggs (those with the bright orange yolk)." She recommends, "Replace the bacon or ham with a leaner turkey sausage, [top] with a good piece of cheese, [and] even throw in a little bit of spinach for that boost of vitamins and minerals."
