> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > How can there be anything particularly evil in egg-biscuit-sausage? That’s something you would make at home. > ☹ I don’t know but I used to love BK’s sausage croisanwiches. Then one morning I felt really hungry and order 2 of them. About two bites into the second one, It really started to taste disgusting. I couldn’t finish eat and felt stomach unsettling all day.Since then I haevn’t had one, and the thought of one sounds nasty still. ---

The Starbucks breakfast sandwiches are _fantastic_, but they’re more expensive than the typical fast food offerings. ---

Jack In The Box has an awesome steak and egg burrito – and they do breakfast 24 hours a day! The coffee is decent as well. ---

+1 for Starbucks sandwiches. Also the BK egg and cheese biscuit. I usually pull off any visible cheese to bring the calorie count down. Their biscuits are not super greasy like McD’s. I’s recommend Chik-fil-a as my second, but if you ahd one in the neighborhood you probably wouldn’t be asking. ---

the breakfast burrito of course, sauceless is neatest, or tear open a tiny hole in the packet and squeeze on the hot goodness between bites. ---

> [@OttoDaFe](#): > > I’d suggest a JitB Meaty Burrito. I had to go into town, so I tried one today. JITB has no jalapeños (except poppers; no condiment/sliced). I asked, and their salsa isn’t spicy. I found the Meaty Burrito to be very bland. Also, the egg overpowered the meat. ---

Sonic has great breakfast burritos. I’m a huge fan of the ultimate meat one: sausage, bacon, eggs, cheese and tater tots. Yum. ---

Is there anything decent at the major fast food places that doesn’t have egg? I’m not an egg fan and I don’t understand why there’s always eggs. (I mean, I like them fine at home scrambled, but not elsewhere and not done any other way.) ---

At the risk of sound simplistic, why not carry a box of granola bars in your car? They’re not the best for you health-wise, but they’re portable, easy to eat in the car, and they keep well. The ones found in the health-food/organic aisle are much more filling (but more expensive, too) than your average fruit and oatmeal granola bar. One will last me until lunch time. Personally, I love Odwalla’s ChocoWalla bars. They’re about a buck apiece. > **[Walgreens: Pharmacy, Health & Wellness, Photo & More for You](https://www.walgreens.com/)** > > Your go-to for Pharmacy, Health & Wellness and Photo products.

(I mean, I like them fine at home scrambled, but not elsewhere and not done any other way.) There’s quite a few options without egg, but they’re pretty much just the regular sandwiches without the egg. To wit, McD’s offers the Sausage Biscuit, the Sausage McMuffin, Sausage McGriddle, and the Southern Style Chicken Biscuit. They’re usually several dollars cheaper than their egg-laden brethren. They are often on the dollar menu. ---

Here’s what I like: McD’s Sausage McGriddle with bacon substituted for the sausage. If you order this make sure the person understands you want bacon substituted, not added. I haven’t lived near a Jack in the Box for over 12 years, but when I did the Breakfast Jack was my hands down favorite. I don’t know if they’re still available or the same as they were. Within the last year I’ve started enjoying the occasional breakfast at Chick-fil-A. ---

> [@PunditLisa](#): > > At the risk of sound simplistic, why not carry a box of granola bars in your car? As a type II diabetic, I need either low/no carb, or at least a very high ratio of protein (egg and/or meat) to carb. Granola bars, cereal, muffins, etc., make my blood sugar spike and then crash later in a very unpleasant way. Usually I have Fage yogurt before I leave the house and it works well, but sometimes I’m out of yogurt and want to stop on the way to work. I might try a Breakfast Jack, as there is a JOTB right on my way. ---

Hmm, as far as I can tell (depending on how wonky their locator app is) there are only seven Wendy’s locations in the US that serve breakfast: 3 in Ohio and 4 in Kentucky. I think Wendy’s started in Ohio, so that makes sense that they’d test it there first. ---

I think Wendy’s started in Ohio, so that makes sense that they’d test it there first. I’ve seen Wendy’s locations that served breakfast in the past (and outside of OH and KY), but I think that those were limited to airport locations (which may be operating under different rules).
