The 1/2 pound Breakfast Burrito: The McSkillet

I was frightened by the news of the 900 calorie Hardee's breakfast burrito... had something like 60 grams of fat. Holey Schnikie...

While I'm not used to McDonald's playing catch-up, especially with Hardee's they sure enough come through in the clutch with the McSkillet breakfast burrito.

It's got egg, sausage, American cheese, potato, jack cheese, salsa, a veggie selection all wrapped in a flour tortilla. That's one durable flour tortilla.

The sausage version comes in at 610 calories nothing close to the 900 that the Hardee's breakfast-tube sports... The McSkillet has 330 calories from fat, 36 grams of fat... 56% of your daily value and 14 grams of saturated fat.

All this results in 137% of your daily value of cholesterol. What a way to start your day. If you wondered the 60 grams of fat from the Hardee's option ends up translating into god knows what but I'd speculate that if you're into Hardee's you don't really care.

610 calories? If you had this with a black coffee, you'd be on a diet! I'm sick of people bashing calories. I read a recommendation that you leave off salad dressing in a McDonald's salad. It left 300 calories in the salad!!! Then what? Sodium content and animal fat levels are more legitimate targets. Cholesterol levels are of course meaningless. Dietary cholesterol has little to no effect on serum cholesterol and this has been known for years.Likewise, calories from is a useless number. Study after study fail to find a link between percentage of cals from fat and health. Now animal fat, that's another question.
