15 Fast-Food Breakfasts Nutritionists Would Never Recommend
Jack in the Box: Sausage Breakfast Burrito With Salsa (Grande)
Calories: 1,070
Sodium: 2,200 mg
Carbs: 70 g (5 g fiber, 5 g sugar)
According to Jackie Newgent, RDN, CDN, the 21 grams of fat included in this breakfast choice are literally more than what specialists say you should eat in a day. This statistic alone turns this dish into a caloric bomb that damages your diet first thing in the morning.
Much like the cupcake pancakes, this burrito contains more genetically modified ingredients than things you’d actually find in nature. Here are just a few of them:
- Disodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate: helps your burrito have appetizing colors
- Sodium nitrite: a popular preservative in ready-made meals
- Propyl gallate: a food additive that’s nearly 100% artificial
- Hydrogenated oils: make the tortilla taste good
However even if you were to read the ingredient list, you’d probably never know what those terms stand for, right? Luckily, now you can look for them in other foods too so you know what to avoid.
