Worst Breakfast

IHOP Thick-Cut Bone-In Ham & Eggs
4,310 mg sodium
1,170 calories
61 g fat (19 g saturated)

Sodium Equivalent: 37 servings of Planter’s Cocktail Peanuts (that’s more than three 12-oz cans!)

IHOP is another chain known for egregious sodium levels. Even foods that sound relatively sodium-free are swimming in the stuff. Take an order of Buttermilk Pancakes. One order—5 pancakes—has 2,640 mg sodium. Things turn especially ugly when you start adding meat to the plate. You’d be wise to avoid any dish with steak or ham, which consistently contribute to a total of more than 2,000 mg per dish.

Eat This Instead!
IHOP Simple & Fit Turkey Bacon Omelette with Fresh Fruit
730 mg sodium
420 calories
21 g fat (10 g saturated)

Bonus Tip: The right breakfast will make you super-productive. So avoid the wrong ones, especially these shocking 20 Worst Breakfasts in America.
