1. Big Breakfast with Hotcakes

Do you know that moment when you are extremely hungry and you decide to buy something to eat as fast as possible and end up with a bunch of food that you can’t eat at all?

This is probably what is going to happen if you decide to order the Big Breakfast with Hotcakes.

This menu item is huge and has a whopping 1340 calories! That is definitely too much to eat in one sitting.

It contains a hot sausage, a biscuit, some hotcakes that come with a side of butter and syrup, and obviously, the scrambled eggs had to be there.

Unfortunately, even if it sounds delicious, this breakfast provides more saturated fat than you need in an entire day—more precisely, 123% of your daily recommended saturated fat. Also, it is full of carbs and sugars.

So, if you want to eat something healthy, this is the worst choice you can make when ordering breakfast at McDonald’s.
