10 Healthy Fast Food Breakfast Options
Sure making a healthy breakfast at home is the best case scenario, but at some point in time, I’m sure you’ll find yourself in a fast food line trying to decide what to order for breakfast. The focus of this list is not on calories, but rather on nutrients like protein, carbohydrates and fat. Here are my top 10 Healthy Fast Food Breakfast options for you to choose from when you’re on the go but still want to fuel your body with nutrients!
Protein: 17g
Carbohydrates: 28g
Fats: 5g
Fiber: 3g
This sandwich has great sources of protein and fat with the egg whites, turkey bacon, and cheese. The fiber from the bread combined with protein and fat are great for balancing blood sugar levels and keeping you full for awhile.
I wish it had a little bit more protein…I like to see at least 20g for each meal, but overall this is a great option for a fast food breakfast!
2. Starbucks Spinach, Feta & Cage-Free Egg White Wrap
Protein: 20g
Carbohydrates: 34g
Fats: 8g
Fiber: 3g
This wrap has a whopping 20g of protein which is fantastic for breakfast! Protein and fiber are what help keep you full so this option is great for breakfast. Plus you get some veggies in there with the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes.
Protein: 23g
Carbohydrates: 40g
Fats: 25g
Fiber: 5g
I am always a fan of eggs, fruit and toast for breakfast, which is essentially what this box is. It has a great amount of protein plus some extra fiber from the apple and grapes to help keep you fuller longer. I love the nut butter and cheese for healthy fats too! It’s a little high on the carbohydrate side, but is still a great option for every once in awhile. Overall a good option for a grab and go breakfast.
4. Starbucks Egg White & Roasted Red Pepper Sous Vide Egg Bites
Protein: 12g
Carbohydrates: 11g
Fats: 8g
Fiber: 0g
This fast food breakfast option is not my absolute favorite because of the lower protein amount, but it is still a good fast food breakfast option. These egg bites have a good balance of protein and healthy fats, and have a lower carbohydrate count than the Starbucks sandwiches. Plus they taste incredible!
5. Chick-fil-A Egg White Grill Sandwich
Protein: 27g
Carbohydrates: 31g
Fats: 7g
Fiber: 2g
This sandwich is surprisingly high in protein and low in fat! Although the Egg White Grill doesn’t have much fiber, the high protein content will help you stay full until lunch. Pair with a black coffee and fruit for some extra fiber!
6. Chick-fil-A Hash Brown Scramble Bowl w/ Grilled Filet - no hash browns
Protein: 28g
Carbohydrates: 1g
Fats: 16g
Fiber: 0g
I have to say, I am super impressed with this option! It’s basically scrambled eggs with chicken and cheese! This is a great fast food option for breakfast, especially served with a side of fruit!
7. Panera Avocado, Egg White & Spinach Sandwich
Protein: 19g
Carbohydrates: 40g
Fats: 14g
Fiber: 5g
This sandwich has all the characteristics of a healthy breakfast: healthy fats, protein, and carbs/fiber. All in all this option makes a great healthy fast food breakfast.
8. Panera Chipotle Chicken, Scrambled Egg & Avocado Wrap
Protein: 27g
Carbohydrates: 32g
Fats: 25g
Fiber: 4g
Honestly this healthy fast food breakfast is better than anything I could put together at home anyway! You get eggs, chicken, avocado, pepper, and cilantro. It is a perfect combination of healthy fats, protein, and carbs. Good job Panera!
Protein: 24g
Carbohydrates: 47g
Fats: 16g
Fiber: 4g
The best thing about this option is that you can order as many veggies as you want with this flatbread. Add spinach, onion, tomato, and bell pepper to give this breakfast a huge fiber boost to leave you feeling full and focused the entire morning!
10. Dunkin’ Veggie Egg White Omelet
Protein: 17g
Carbohydrates: 27g
Fats: 13g
Fiber: 5g
This option wouldn’t be my first choice only because the lower protein amount. I like to hit 20 grams or more for each meal, but this option is still decent for anyone grabbing breakfast on the go. I know I am not someone who would go to Dunkin’ for a breakfast sandwich instead of a donut, but this sandwich is a healthier option for avid Dunkin’ goers!
