What should you order for breakfast on the go to ensure the best nutritional value? Use the following weight loss strategies to place your fast food orders.

Although, McDonald's Fruit & Walnut Salad offers significant nutrients, it contains 310 calories; while The Egg McMuffin is only 290 calories. The best breakfast alternative at McDonald’s can be found in the 160 calorie Fruit'n Yogurt Parfait dessert.

Another mistake people make when getting breakfast on the go is the bagel with cream cheese. As it would seem to be a moderate caloric way to start the day, bagels contain anywhere between 250-360 calories. Not to mention, there are 70 calories in two tablespoons of cream cheese.

Weight loss dieting tip: Stay clear of the inclusive large meals. For example, the hotcakes and sausage contains 770 calories; while the Deluxe Breakfast loads up the calories at 1,220 calories. To keep calories to a minimum, order the fruit and yogurt at McDonald’s.

The sourdough sandwich with eggs, ham, and Swiss cheese represents 450 calories at Arby’s. To shave offer 70 or more calories, skip the cheese or 100 from the bread.

Unlike the high caloric value of pancakes at McDonalds, Hardee's pancake platter runs at 300 calories as long as the cakes are not slathered in syrup and butter. To curb caloric intake, us Hardee's Butter Blend, because there are only 25 calories per packet.

Other good breakfast choices at Hardee’s include the Sunrise Croissant (egg ham and croissant – 430 calories) the Frisco Breakfast Sandwich (egg, cheese and ham on sourdough bread - 410 calories) and the Country Ham Biscuit (440 calories).

Weight loss dieting tip: Dodge the urge to splurge on on the the Big Country Breakfast Platters at Hardee's because the calories range between 890 to 1,250 calories. As tasty as Hardee’s hash browns are their energy density is valued at 460.
