You know you ought to eat breakfast, but preparing a morning meal at home just isn't happening in your rushed household. Check out different fast-food companies' Web sites for nutrition information before you have to make the decision so that at least you're informed about what's going in your body. If there's no time even for that, then look for a few choice words that can tip you off to the fattiest, most calorie-laden meals. Go sauce-free when you order to avoid extra calories, and steer clear of high-fat meats like sausage, bacon and steak.
Biscuits are often baked with oils and butter, and bagels tend to be supersized - all of which can lead to calorie and fat overload. Egg and cheese sandwiches seem to be the wisest choices at most fast-food places, but sodium is still a problem. Adjust your later meals and snacks accordingly if a fast-food breakfast is part of your daily diet.
