McDonald's Big Breakfast Complete Information

A McDonald's Big Breakfast costs $7.19 and carries 1060 calories. Scrambled eggs, a sausage patty, a hash brown and a warm buttermilk biscuit on one tray.

This is the platter order, and the only item on the McDonald's breakfast menu that arrives as separate components rather than as a sandwich. Everything on it exists elsewhere on the board individually, which makes it a straightforward question of how much you want them together. At 1060 calories it is the second largest breakfast on the menu, behind only the 1340 calorie Big Breakfast with Hotcakes at $8.44, which adds three pancakes to the same tray. The scrambled eggs here are folded rather than the round cracked egg used on the McMuffin line. Pair it with a black Coffee (Small) at $2.49 and nothing else.

Health Insight

At 1060 calories and 56g of sugar and 1540mg of sodium, this one is best treated as an occasional order rather than an everyday one.

Lighter alternative: Hotcakes and Sausage on the same menu comes in at 770 calories. See Hotcakes and Sausage
