View Full Version : New JD breakfast sandwiches
Ok, not exactly "health food", but I just discovered Jimmy Dean "D-lights" breakfast sandwiches. I especially like the canadian bacon and egg white. It's 230 calories, and....
Total Fat 6g 9%
Saturated Fat 3g 15%
Trans Fat 0g
Cholesterol 15mg 5%
Sodium 790mg 33%
Total Carbohydrate 30g 10%
Dietary Fiber 2g 8%
Sugars 3g
Protein 15g 30%
Not bad for "frozen sandwiches".
Like most, I'd prefer to eat "non processed", but when I'm in a hurry in the morning or haven't had time to prepare my breakfast, it is nice to grab something a go. These aren't bad!
Just say'in :)

790 mg sodium? no thanks...sorry
If I'm in a hurry and can't make breakfast, I'll grab an apple or two and some water. I'd rather skip protein for a few hours than eat something like that.

Can't disagree with you at all.
I see a lot of threads on here asking about relatively healthy "fast foods", frozen meals, quick meals, etc....so....just throwing this out as a possible option.
To me this falls into the "if I HAVE too grab something fast, then this is the lesser of a lot of the evils" catagory.

I like the turkey sausage and egg muffin. It has even more sodium which boggles my mind. I mean, how can turkey have more sodium than ham?
It tastes great, but I have to make sure to drink a lot of water and green tea to keep the sodium from hanging out under my skin.
Yeah, the turkey is ok too. If I had to pick one it would be the bacon though. Just "seems" less fatty. Right huh??...lol.
Yeah, down south, I don't worry much about sodium at this time of year. I sweat buckets just walking outside so it's more beneficial than anything. Winters a different story.

Those dang processed meats are always made with too much sodium. If they weren't, no one would eat them I guess! :o

920mg in one tbsp of soy sauce!
500mg in one can of solid white albacore tuna.
Sodium isn't that bad.
The problem I see is not enough protein in the buggers! Also, the carbs! I'd have to heat at least three of em to get the protein I need. I bet the carbs are high glycemic too! I say YIKES to that before I'd worry bout the sodium!

Yeah, like I said, not exactly "health food", but certainly better than kolaches, mcdonalds or other quick "fast foods". I'd rather more protein too, with a few more of the "good" calories. Ends up being a "snack" and of course you're hungry again a few hours later.

2 would be enough for me. As long as I get 30g's of protein I'm happy.
But then again I'm just a "little" guy. :)
BUT still at 60grms of carbs!!! :eek: :eek: I'm with you there.
Which brings me to this...
I have always wondered about these types of pre packaged foods.
Do you think they really do have as much protein content in them?
I am VERY skeptical about that in a lot of food like this.

The bottom line with food like this is, you eat it cause you really don't give a crap! It's easier then preparing yourself and committing to eat clean. You fail to plan.

PLAN?????
It is second nature for me to make my food three days in advance. ;)
Contest dieting phase that is. Other than that anything goes. :D

Wow! Thanks for posting this, as I'll be putting these on my grocery list from now on!
