Abby Langer, R.D., says there's only one menu item she'd suggest eating: The classic bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich.
"It has protein, but isn't not loaded with sauce and sausage and on a biscuit or croissant, all of which are high in calories and likely high in saturated fat, " she says. "The frosties are probably a nightmare of sugar. Why would you start your day with a milkshake?"

The oatmeal seems like a solid pick, it is low in protein and high in sugar, meaning you probably won't be full and need a snack much sooner.
Although there's nothing wrong with eating fast food occasionally, it's also easy to make a breakfast sandwich at home.
