Signature Egg Benedictine is the new McDonald's hamburger. Although it seems like a good idea to put egg and cheese on a hamburger, do you know how many calories you consume?
Signature Collection has to bring the glamor of brunch to the classic burgers. The Egg Benedict is very popular in breakfasts, so it could combine well with a typical fast food item, right?
781 calories per burger
With 100% Spanish beef, bacon, Gouda cheese, crispy onion, egg, poppy seed bread and a spectacular creamy hollandaise sauce, this new McDonalds burger has the complete package for not being low in calories.
It weighs 228,85 grams , so the nutritional values of the complete burger are:
- Energy value: 781 calories
- Protein: 35 grams
- Carbohydrates: 44 grams
- Fiber: 3,1 grams
- Sugars: 6,8 grams
- Fat: 52 grams
- Saturated fatty acids: 20 grams
- Salt: 2,2 grams
It represents almost 40% of the daily calories needed in an adult. So we would have a remaining 60% for breakfast and lunch (or dinner). In addition, it will be necessary to add the caloric intake of the fries, the soft drink or the dessert if we request it. In addition, the consumption of saturated fatty acids is around 100% daily, so it would be a health risk to eat more in potatoes or other foods.
double version
For the more adventurous, there's also the Signature Double Egg Benedict version. This version uses twice the amount of meat , resulting in a noticeable increase in calories, protein, and fat. Specifically:
- Energy value: 1011 calories
- Protein: 55 grams
- Carbohydrates: 44 grams
- Fiber: 3,4 grams
- Sugars: 6,8 grams
- Fat: 68 grams
- Saturated fatty acids: 27 grams
- Salt: 2,6 grams
If you're craving the new McDonald's burger , it's best to choose the single patty. Two patties aren't healthier, as the quality isn't high and it will be full of oils and fats. Plus, it already contains over 1000 calories, and you'll have to add in the fries, drink, and dessert if you order it as part of a meal. In total, lunch or dinner can easily add up to around 2000 calories , which is the recommended daily intake for an active person. Therefore, overeating can lead to weight gain and an increase in unhealthy fats.
Although it is possible to reduce the calories by eliminating the hollandaise sauce, the truth is that it would not make a big change either. It's the full combo that's a big caloric intake. Therefore, it is better to try the simple version.
