Big Breakfast with large Biscuit, Hotcakes, Margarine, and Syrup
1,370 calories
64.5 g fat (21.5 g saturated)
2,335 mg sodium
49 g sugars
 
First off, this meal has more than two-thirds of the calories you should eat in a day. Secondly, it has more than a day’s worth of saturated fat and, with the pancake syrup, more sugar than two packages of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Really, there’s only one decent item on this plate, and that’s the eggs. Everything else—the pancakes, biscuit, sausage, and hash brown—is the sort of food that gives you a body more like Grimace than Ronald.
