Ever wondered how many calories are in a McDonald’s breakfast? We’ve got all the details below plus the best and worst options…
Breakfast is a love it, hate it or no time for it meal for many! While making your own healthy, low calorie breakfast is preferable, we understand that sometimes it’s not practical to carry food around with you and you want something fast and on the go.
McDonald’s is one of the most popular and well-known fast food chains and the breakfast menu is more popular than the regular menu with some! So last year when a review on McDonald's breakfast serving times led to an extension, it was very well received.
The breakfast menu includes wraps, rolls and the iconic McMuffin but the calorie count varies massively. For those trying to make lighter choices, it’s worth taking a look at the calorie count, as there are some options for under 300cals and several around the 400 mark.

The most calorific breakfast you can opt for is the pancakes with sausage and syrup with a hash brown on the side, which is a whopping 748calories.
