This is one of my favorite examples of a breakfast subtly marketed as healthy when in fact it’s not. Most of the times, we associate terms like ‘flatbread’ or ‘egg’ with healthy or safe foods, which can easily make this option seem like a good one.
However, the 1,200 mg of sodium included in each of these sandwiches is dangerous to say the least. In fact, it’s more than 50% of your daily recommended intake, so if you add any other snacks or ready-made meals you’re already increasing your long-term risk for heart disease – and frankly it’s just not worth the risk.
