FAST FOOD BREAKFAST CLONES

Fast Food Breakfast Macro Clones: Healthier Copycat Recipes

We love fast food breakfast flavors. We don't love fast food breakfast macros. Most drive-through options deliver disappointing protein (under 20g) with excessive calories, sodium, and questionable ingredients. Our copycat recipes recreate the flavors you crave while dramatically improving the nutritional profile.

The Macro Upgrade

Here's how our clones compare to the originals:

Item	Original Protein	Clone Protein	Improvement
Egg McMuffin	17g	40g	+135%
Starbucks Egg Bites	13g	28g	+115%
Chick-fil-A Sandwich	21g	38g	+81%

How We Boost Protein

Our protein upgrades use simple swaps that preserve taste:

• Double the egg: Fast food often skimps on protein. We use generous egg portions.
• Swap to lean proteins: Turkey sausage instead of pork, Canadian bacon instead of regular.
• Add egg whites: Mixing whole eggs with egg whites boosts protein without changing the texture.
• Upgrade the cheese: Low-fat cheese with the same melt and flavor but less fat.

Cost Comparison

Beyond better macros, our clones cost significantly less. A McDonald's Egg McMuffin runs $4-5. Our 40g-protein clone costs about $2.50 when batch-made. That's 50% savings with double the protein.

Starbucks Egg Bites are $5+ for two bites with 13g protein. Our clone recipe makes 12 bites for about $8 total - that's under $0.70 per bite with double the protein.
