About Fast foods, egg and cheese sandwich
An egg and cheese sandwich is a breakfast staple — cooked egg and melted cheese on a roll, muffin or biscuit. It's an easy source of morning protein, and the egg also supplies vitamin B12, choline and a little vitamin D, but the cheese and the cooking fat push up its calorie and saturated-fat content.
Per 100 grams it provides about 233 calories, with roughly 10.7 grams of protein, almost 18 grams of carbohydrate, and 13.3 grams of fat (about 4.5 grams saturated). Because of the egg yolk, cholesterol is fairly high at close to 199 milligrams per 100 grams, and the cheese brings the sodium to around 551 milligrams and useful calcium (about 154 milligrams).
It's a filling, protein-led start to the day, with the egg and cheese both adding real nutrition. The main things to keep an eye on are the saturated fat and salt — choosing a plain roll or muffin over a buttery biscuit, and adding no extra cheese, keeps it lighter.
