Getting your breakfast to-go is a major convenience, but sometimes we forget about how healthy it is. Dietitian Amy Goodson has just revealed the five healthiest breakfast items that you can order at McDonald’s. For those looking for sides, Goodson suggests getting an Egg McMuffin with apple slices. She also says that the sandwich is lower in saturated fat than other options. The Sausage McMuffin is a healthy option, providing 14% iron, while the Sausage McMuffin with egg packs in 30 grams of protein. For those looking for something different, Goodson also believes the chain’s Sausage Burrito and Fruit & Maple Oatmeal are healthier choices for breakfast.
