Olympic Gold Medalist Gabby Douglas Unveils @McDonalds New Egg White Breakfast Sandwich!

We are big fans of McDonald’s in this house. It is a big treat for my son, and it is an even bigger treat for my spouse! I have written about the healthier options available at McDonald’s before, here. And I have pointed out that if you are a health food eater, this is not the place for you. But, there are healthier options available and today a new one was introduced!

The new Egg White Delight McMuffin has only 250 calories. I have been on several diets this year and that is in line with the breakfast meals they have provided for me. Granted, my issue is to not have 2 or 3, but to reiterate what I have written before, lower calorie options are available at McDonald’s, it is not just about huge triple hamburger meals with extra fries and full sugared soda. And while ordering that way is a choice for many, if I am watching my food intake, I do not have to be afraid that McDonald’s is off my list of places that I can eat while my family is enjoying their meal.

This new egg white McMuffin has 100% egg whites, white cheddar cheese, extra lean Canadian bacon on a whole grain muffin with 8 grams of whole grain. You can watch your weight and eat at McDonald’s. That is my message. I was about to start cooking some for the audience, but the real chef came and asked me to just enjoy the breakfast!

And I got to meet Gabby Douglas, the US Olympic Gold Medalist. I saw her many times in the 2012 Summer Olympics, I am a huge fan of hers, I was so thrilled to be able to meet this record breaking Olympian! She introduced this new sandwich at the press event.

You don’t go to McDonald’s looking for health food, but you can go to McDonald’s and eat healthy. I have and will continue to do so!
