25 Drive-Through Hacks For Healthy Ordering on the Go

How to order: no Canadian bacon, no salted butter (optional: no cheese)

Eggs are a great go-to for a protein fix, and there are no added ingredients in McDonald’s egg patties.

Although the Canadian bacon is “lean,” there are nitrites on the ingredient list, so it’s best to avoid it. Although optional, skipping the salted butter and cheese will save you half the fat, while still keeping the protein high. Surprisingly, the English muffin itself has five grams of protein, 1.5 grams of iron, and 140 milligrams of calcium, so consider keeping it around if you’re not on a gluten-free or low-carb diet.
