Order from the "Breakfast Favorites" menu to try a bowl of Power Almond Quinoa Oatmeal, which has: 290 calories — not too high, not too low 8g of protein — on the lower side as far as breakfast items go, but a fair amount to strengthen muscles and fill you up 6g of fat — pretty low 51g of carbs — on the higher side; watch your snacks 220mg of sodium — very low Subway — Egg and Cheese Sandwich — 360 calories "Eating fresh" in the a.m. is pretty easy at this chain, where you can get an egg sandwich on flatbread loaded with veggies. Our only caveat is that the sandwich is pretty high in sodium, which research suggests may be bad news for your heart. 360 calories — not too high, not too low 19g of protein — a good amount to strengthen muscles and fill you up 12g of fat — on the higher side, but not a deal-breaker 44g of carbs — roughly 15% of your daily allowance 860mg of sodium — more than half your daily allowance McDonald's — Egg McMuffin — 300 calories The fruit and yogurt parfait isn't the only healthy morning item McDonald's offers. Avoiding the meat is an easy way to lighten up their traditional breakfast items.
