Don't go licking your lips just yet: This burrito packs in a whopping 920 calories, 23 grams of saturated fat, and about nearly 2000 milligrams of sodium. I am a big fan of everything in moderation, but I can honestly say that there is not any real reason for anyone to eat this for breakfast, or anytime really. I know a lot of us have it in our heads that breakfast burritos can be a healthy breakfast alternative, but this burrito could not be further from that — steer clear.</p> <p>I tried to find a better alternative for breakfast when eating at Hardee's, and the best choice I could find is the Sunrise Croissant with Ham, which weighs in at 430 calories and 10 grams of saturated fat. Needless to say, I won't be eating breakfast there anytime soon.</p> <p><a href="http://www.hardees.com/nutrition/" target="_blank">Source</a></p> http://www.fitsugar.com/704318#comment country breakfast burrito Fast Food fast food restaurants hardees Tue, 16 Oct 2007 08:45:00 -0700 FitSugar http://www.fitsugar.com/704318
