Is an egg-mcmuffin with no cheese and no hash-brown really that bad for you? It's literally an egg on bread.

No it’s not that bad for you.

it's not real egg and the processed bread-resembling muffin isn't very nutritious either

  How exactly does McDonalds make eggs that aren't real eggs> I don't believe that.

    There are carton "eggs" that you pour. The McMuffin really is made from fresh cracked eggs, though. I think they are delicious.

      Just curious. What do you think those are made from?

        I wasn't trying to imply whipped eggs from a carton aren't eggs.

      What's wrong with carton eggs? How are they not real eggs?

  Do you really think they'd be allowed to call it an Egg McMuffin if it didn't have real eggs? It would be a pretty clear-cut case of false advertising.

    The food industry plays all sorts of games. Ever seen what's actually in "pork" sausages or "chicken" nuggets?

      Do you know how narrow the definition of "mayonnaise" is (in the US)? They don't mess around.

    Do you read the ingredients of anything you eat/drink? This happens all the time. Read ingredients of "Apple Juice" or "Orange Juice" and it will often say upon inspection "Contains 12% juice" or something of the like. Yeah... your Egg McMuffin probably has SOME egg in it, but that's about it.

      There was a promotional document a couple of years ago which describes each type of egg they do.[0] The egg mcmuffin is actually the best, as it's entirely just an egg, cracked and cooked from scratch right there.

        Ok, so the worst thing I can find about the egg McMuffin is that it is prepared with 'liquid margerine' which appears to contain some trans fats in the form of 'partially hydrogenated soybean oil'. My understanding is anything that is partially hydrogenated is trans fats. Apparently it is has 1/3 of you daily allowance of sodium as well.

How many people only order an egg on bread at McDonald's?
