About Fast foods, biscuit, with egg
The biscuit with egg is a breakfast-counter staple: a warm, flaky buttermilk biscuit split and filled with a folded or fried egg. It's the simplest of the biscuit sandwiches, built around just the bread and the egg, before any bacon, sausage or cheese gets added.
Per 100 grams it carries about 274 calories, with roughly 16.2 grams of fat and 8.5 grams of protein from the egg. Carbohydrate is about 23.5 grams from the biscuit, with around 0.6 grams of fiber. The fat is the headline number here — biscuits are made with a good deal of butter or shortening — and cholesterol is high at about 180 milligrams per 100 grams, almost entirely from the egg. Sodium is steep at around 655 milligrams.
Even the plainest breakfast biscuit is a rich, buttery item, so the saturated fat and sodium add up quickly. The egg does bring real protein, though; pairing the sandwich with fruit and water rather than hash browns and a sugary drink, or choosing an English-muffin base in place of the biscuit, trims the fat without losing the protein.
