Egg McMuffin (McDonald's) (1 Serving)

Order the Egg McMuffin without hash browns and avoid juice, sweetened coffee, or other sugary drinks; choose water, unsweetened tea, or black coffee instead.

Eat the egg and cheese first, then the muffin more slowly; this can reduce how quickly the carbohydrates are absorbed.

Consider eating only half of the muffin, or make it an open-faced sandwich, while keeping the egg and cheese.

Add a side of avocado, spinach, tomato, or other non-starchy vegetables rather than an extra bread or potato side.

If you are eating at home, use the egg, cheese, spinach, and avocado as a breakfast bowl instead of using the full muffin.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if it is safe and appropriate for you.
