Fast Food Choice of the Day - Starbucks Reduced Fat Turkey Bacon Breakfast Sandwich

Now...I know the best choice for breakfast is what you make at home...egg whites, oatmeal, whole wheat toast, fruit, etc. However, we all know how hard it is to get to work on time, let alone be able to make breakfast. So, instead of going without, when you make a trip for your daily coffee (which we all find time for), don't forget about actual healthy calories. Starbucks has done a fine job catering to those on the go. For those that know me, they know Starbucks is my second home, so I was pleased as anyone when they came up with their breakfast menu. Their reduced fat turkey bacon breakfast sandwich is fantastic. High in fiber and protein, not to mention tasty. It does have a little more fat than I would like but giving the alternative (which would be nothing), it is a great choice. Here is the nutritional breakdown:

Calories: 340
Fat: 10 gms.
Carbs: 47 gms.
Protein: 22 gms
Fiber: 3 gms.

Good times...
