The Egg McMuffin is a classic breakfast sandwich rooted in American fast-food cuisine, introduced by McDonald's in the 1970s. It features a freshly cracked Grade A egg, a slice of lean Canadian bacon, and melty American cheese, all layered on a toasted English muffin. This convenient, handheld meal offers a balance of protein from the egg and bacon, carbohydrates from the muffin, and fats from the cheese. While the Egg McMuffin provides essential nutrients like protein, calcium, and iron, it also contains sodium and saturated fat that should be moderated in a balanced diet. With around 300 calories per serving, it can be a lighter option compared to other fast-food breakfast items when consumed as part of a mindful eating approach.
