Although a fast food breakfast sandwich might sound like a good idea, especially if you are on the road, the truth is that you might be getting more than you bargained for with these menu items. Specifically, next time you go to the Burger King drive thru, it’s important to keep certain nutritional information in mind to avoid making any diet mistakes that could thwart your progress.
With that in mind, keep reading for the one breakfast sandwich you should never order at Burger King because it basically guarantees weight gain!
Double Croissan'wich with Sausage
This breakfast sandwich is definitely one you'll want to stay away from. Burger King's Double Croissan'wich with Sausage has over 700 calories. It also contains 20 grams of saturated fat and 0.5 grams of trans fat.
That would be sufficient reason to steer clear, but there's more. This breakfast sandwich also contains 1,420 grams of sodium.
To put that in perspective, according to Eat This, Not That!, "The American Heart Association recommends that adults, especially those with high blood pressure, limit themselves to just 1,500 milligrams of sodium each day."
Too much sodium in your diet can lead to various and serious health problems, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.
In the short term, it can also lead to some uncomfortable issues that are best avoided.
For example, according to Healthline, too much sodium can lead to water retention, which you might notice as bloat.
With that in mind, next time you're in the Burger King drive thru, it's a good idea to skip the Double Croissan'wich with Sausage. If you're really craving a breakfast sandwich, try their Egg & Cheese Croissan'wich instead, which contains nearly 400 less calories.
