Can someone breakdown the calories, fat, sodium, cholesterol, etc., that one would find in a breakfast sandwhich with these ingredients:
1 Croissant (standard size, buttered)
1-2 fresh eggs
3 slices of bacon, cooked on grill in it's own grease
1 slice american cheese
I am trying to figure out the nutritional value of this, as I eat it once a week for breakfast. I probably shouldn't, but I am curious nonetheless.
Thanks!

Croissant - 272 Calories
Three Slices of Bacon - 130 Calories
Slice of American Cheese - 70 Calories
Not sure about the eggs.. It depends on how they're cooked. All values are approximated.

Bookmark calorielab.com and then you can look up nutritional information yourself on things that don't come with a label.
And as an occasional "splurge" that b'fast isn't going to harm you (it sounds yummy) but I'd recommend making it less than once a week.
Eggs are about 70 cals each, bacon about 35 cals a slice, and the cheese probably 70 or so (from memory) so that's 315 cals before you add in the bread and butter.

You can look up calories and fat content on the internet of pretty much anything. Obviously, this isn't the healthiest breakfast in the world, but if you eat a healthy breakfast on the other six days of the week, and you're not overweight (and, of course, don't smoke), I say don't worry about it and enjoy!

eeew you eat a Buttered Croissant? Do you know how you make a criossant? You mix dough with like 8000 lbs of butter! That's like eating bacon smeared with lard! Gross!
try putting egg whites and turkey bacon directly on the croissant....much healthier (though still not great 4 u)

You don't need a nutritionist to tell you that is BAD for you.

Unless you are trying to lose weight, forget it! Once a week should not hurt you as long as you eat healthy the rest of the week!!
