We all know that almost every item on McDonald's menu is loaded with fat and has a high calorie content so it's not surprising that something as delicious sounding as a McSkillet breakfast burrito would be any different. I passed by a McDonald's today and saw an advertisement for its new McSkillet burrito and of course it looks good. But I don't eat fast food regularly so I decided that before I try it, I should take a look at what's actually inside.The burrito has sausage, potatoes, onions, peppers, salsa and egg, wrapped in a flour tortilla and sprinkled with American cheese and shredded cheddar Jack cheese. Sounds like a lot of calories right? Well there are 610 to be exact with 330 calories from fat. It has 36 grams of fat, which is 56% of your daily value and 14 grams of saturated fat, 69% of your daily value. If that's not bad enough it even has a cholesterol count that totals up to 137% of your daily value and the sodium clocks in at 1390 mg.
While it sounds like a tempting on-the-go breakfast choice, it's nutritional value alone is enough to say no thanks. Your best breakfast choice is something low in calories and high in fiber and protein- like a healthy breakfast bar or yogurt and granola. And if you're still looking for a fast food splurge thats not as fatty as the McSkillet burrito, a medium sized packet of onion rings will cure your craving.
