Chick-fil-A’s Egg White Grill is a high-protein fast-food breakfast option.

A high-protein breakfast can help fuel your body for the rest of the day.

Check nutrition info before ordering to help guide your choices.

I have to start my day with breakfast. If I don’t fuel myself properly right after waking up, I’ll be toast in no time (get it?). Perhaps that’s why I wake up every day looking forward to “breaking my fast” with a high-protein meal. I usually make my breakfast at home, but if I’m out and about, one of my favorite takeout options is Chick-fil-A’s Egg White Grill. It’s delicious, convenient and, with a few customizations, a nourishing way to start my day.

When I talk to patients and clients about dining out, I encourage them to browse the menu before they go. Many restaurants, including fast-food establishments, share every detail—from allergens and ingredients to nutritional information. This intel makes it possible to choose an item that works for their health and nutrition goals, such as high-protein, high-fiber or low-sodium. I suggest you do the same, but if you’re not home or not able to quickly pull up the website, just take a peek at the physical menu when you get there. Most places also include basic nutrition information like calories, total fat and protein that you can quickly review before you make any decisions! Looking at the menu for a high-protein breakfast option is how I found my Chick-fil-A favorite.
