The McDonald’s Big Breakfast is available in two varieties, with and without hotcakes. The Big Breakfast without hotcakes has 750 calories, while the one with hotcakes has a whopping 1340 calories, which is nearly twice as much as the regular version.
Both options contain a high amount of fat and carbs, which can derail your efforts at maintaining a healthy body weight.
To make either dish healthier, you can order them without hash browns or biscuit. You could even order them without both and you’d still have enough calories and protein to make it through the morning without feeling hungry.
