Two eggs fried in Pam, 2 slices of whole wheat toast, 3 slices of bacon, 1 cup of coffee with 3 tablespoons of sugar.
It’s not bad, but you’d be better off replacing either the bacon or eggs with a piece of fruit. And do you really need that much sugar in your coffee?
Here’s a more healthful breakfast:
-A bowl of oatmeal with cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, a dash of salt, and raisins.
-A cup of skim milk
-A piece of string cheese
-An apple
Here’s a less healthful breakfast:
-A bag of Cheetos
-A Dr. Pepper
-A cigarette
I’d put your breakfast closer to the “less healthful” end of the spectrum, but only a little bit. It’s kind of hard to know whether it’s healthful or not without knowing what your health issues are, what your activity level is, what else you’re going to eat that day, etc.
Man, does that bring back memories…
That is a lot of sugar for the coffee, are you sure you don’t mean teaspoons?
Well put it like this, with my sedentary job, if I had breakfast like that every day I would be a big heffer. Once or twice a week, ok.
But no, it isn’t healthy. You have saturated fat, sugar and caffeine and not a whole lot besides. If you want to eat that regularly, I would cut out the bacon, poach the eggs and try to cut out the sugar. I’m a coffee addict, so I’ll let you keep the caffeine 
I’ll argue with the part I bolded by pointing out that this breakfast does also provide protein (the egg white), vitamin D (the egg yolk) and fiber (the whole-wheat toast). While poaching the eggs would cut out a small amount of fat, it’s not much - fried in a light spritz of Pam is not like frying in butter or bacon fat.
(Please tell me you mean teaspoons, not tablespoons, though!)
Nope, tablespoons. I do take way too much sugar on my drinks. Ok tomorrow I’m replacing the bacon with an apple and the coffee with a bottle of diet lipton green tea.
Those are definitely positive changes.
It seems like quite a bit for an everyday thing. I’m a large guy and I generally eat an Egg Mcmuffin with no cheese for breakfast. So that’s one egg, one English muffin, and one piece of Canadian bacon for 250 calories. I would love to eat two everyday, but it would seem like a lot.
I would recommend cutting the toast, adding some chopped spinach and bellpeppers to the egg in the pan, and cutting the sugar.
If it’s truly whole grain bread, I would leave the toast for the fiber. I’d cut the bacon, though.
I plugged it into the Weight Watchers point tracker. Assuming no butter on the toast, it comes in at 16 points.
I’m a sedentary male in my 40’s who’s slightly overweight (which is why I’m on Weight Watchers). I’ve got a budget of 40 points for the day. So I could have a breakfast like that ONLY if I planned on eating significantly LESS than that for either lunch or dinner (or both). I might do it occasionally as a treat, but not as a daily thing.
Of course, if you’re in your 20’s or have a job requiring a lot of physical activity, you might be able to get away with it.
But maybe limit it to one slice.
Not on a daily basis. I read that you plan on making some changes. That’s great!
This is how I would modify this breakfast:
One egg, one slice of toast, 1 cup of coffee with 1 tsp of sugar…bacon YES, but not every day.
My breakfast usually consists of coffee with milk and a little sugar, maybe 1/2 a bagel or piece of toast, sometimes a banana or a small amount of cereal. When I don’t work, I may cook some bacon and eggs, or make a smoothie. Not a huge breakfast person but I do love an omelette with hot sauce and little chopped green onions on top and whatever else I find interesting…
And instead of frying the eggs, scrambled or hardboiled would be better. If you scramble them, consider adding some vegetables.
You should replace the Dr. Pepper with a beer…That HFCS is a real poison.
This part doesn’t make any sense. 1 egg fried sunny-side up in a spritz of Pam and 1 egg scrambled in a spritz of Pam are the exact same thing.
I’d replace the sugar with Splenda and I, too, think that it’s too much bacon. I am a vegetarian and I’m used to meat substitutes, so I may have a higher tolerance for their deviation from “the real thing” but if you try them and like them, Morningstar Farm makes a frozen veggie-based “bacon” strip that is both higher in protein and lower in fat than real bacon. You could try it.
Here’s a tip: If you say to yourself, ‘Hmm, is this plate really healthy?’ chances are it IS NOT.
(Kind of like the “If it seems too good to be true, it probably is” thing.)
