A quick breakfast for a busy family,. McDonalds by far is the staple of fast food breakfast. Putting out food and meals for all ages, great for the whole family. Starting off your day with McDonald’s may taste good but a few breakfast items on their menu have been said to take a toll on how you feel and your health.
The Triton Voice decided to try some of these popular McDonald’s breakfast items with the mission of finding the most balanced item. These four 4 items anonymously picked by Staff from the Voice will be rating these off of taste, price, looks, and more importantly how you feel after eating the item. With the help of some staff in the triton voice and some students at Triton Regional High School we got ratings on Mcdonalds fast food Breakfast favorites.

Starting basic, the most common breakfast sandwich ordered at mcdonald’s the sausage & egg mcmuffin. The Sandwich costs $5.19, but can be reduced to two dollars using the mcdonald’s app. The first bite is always the crispiest. The crispy english muffin pairs well with the cheese that melts to the top bun. The egg and sausage taste well but gives good volume to the sandwich making it sometimes almost identical to the advertisements. The looks and taste is complemented by the amount of grease, but would you want to consume it in the morning? In the morning you want to feel good but after eating it you feel pretty gross. Studies done by the Triton voice calculated the final score of the Sausage & Egg Mcmuffin coming out at a b

Commonly found in the “Big Breakfast” a favorite for some, but overall a lot of food. Some will just settle with the hotcakes. The hot cakes are McDonald’s pancakes. They are $5 for 3 pancakes. The are usually only good with syrup so if they forget it, well your stuck with eating a dry pancake. They look pretty bland without the big breakfast next to them. With the calories being jacked up to almost 600 calories for only 3 pancakes is not the best breakfast to start your day. Pancakes are pancakes but these make you feel way too full depending on the person but still not the best feeling to start the day.

One of the most loved breakfasts on the menu is the “Mcgriddle”. The mcgriddle is hand crafted to perfection being made up of a mini pancake stamped with their trademark M. Then comes the bacon or sausage, scrambled egg flap, then 2 slices of american cheese. And then the final pancake holding it together like a sandwich. The mcgriddle is probably the best tasting thing on the Dons menu. To get that satisfaction of the mcgriddle you will have to cough up 5 bucks and 59 cents but it is said to be worth every penny. But after eating the maple syrup caked sandwich it really isn’t the best thing to start your day off with.

At mc donalds one of the lapels for breakfast is their hash browns. They go perfectly with every other breakfast item and even if you don’t want anything else than the hash brown it still might just work. The mc donalds shredded potato hash brown patties are served fluffy and warm on the inside and crispy and toasty on the outside. Coming in at $2.39 which is a pretty hefty price for such a small item. As it tastes amazing, it’s a perfect snack from mc donalds. But is it a good breakfast food to fuel that day…probably not. Most people interviewed by the Triton Voice made comments on how bad it makes you feel.
