Former McDonald’s chef reveals “healthiest” item you can order

by

An ex-McDonald’s cook recently disclosed the “healthiest” option on their menu, and surprisingly, it’s not a popular choice or a salad.

Over time, McDonald’s has made numerous modifications to its menu with the aim of offering more nutritious choices. Some well-received changes include swapping French fries for carrot sticks, replacing McFlurries with fruit bags, and choosing bottled water over soft drinks like Coke or Fanta.

If you’re looking for something beyond a burger, we also offer salads and vegan dishes. It might seem like these choices are the healthiest options on our menu.

As per ex-McDonald’s corporate chef Mike Haracz, an unexpected choice from their breakfast menu turns out to be the healthiest option.

McDonald’s healthiest item comes during breakfast

On his TikTok post dated June 24th, the well-known chef fielded a query from a follower about the food option with fewer calories, less cholesterol, and reduced saturated fat.

Haracz pointed out that many menu items share certain characteristics, but by customizing your choices, the healthiest selection might be an Egg McMuffin without any added butter on it.

He suggested that you might consider having breakfast, opting for a McMuffin, and requesting it without butter. This should make it a bit healthier, he added.

You have one egg (70 calories) and one slice of Canadian bacon (lean protein). To add some taste, let’s include a bit of cheese. Lastly, we have an English muffin, which I think is the diet-friendly bread option for this meal.

The former McDonald’s chef also recommended ordering the Big Breakfast without pancakes. 

He found a few methods to modify the menu, but these changes might not be as delicious as the dishes on the current menu, he summarized.
