Answer: Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit

The Egg McMuffin wins on calories, but that's not all. "The total fat and the saturated fat in the McMuffin are about half of what you get in the Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit," says registered dietitian Marissa Lippert, author of The Cheater's Diet. "That's mostly because of the bacon." Regular bacon has four times as much fat and three times as many calories per serving than Canadian bacon.
