The Skinny Bacon, Egg and Cheese McMuffin
by She FIt on July 14, 2009
When being on a diet it is easy to just stick with the same old stuff day in and day out. I feel like breakfast has become so boring these days, oatmeal, yogurt, fruit. There needs to be a little excitement in one’s diet in order to stick to your plan. Weight loss and diet is a life long change… and I don’t want to be eating oatmeal every morning for the rest of my life!
After passing by McDonalds one morning, I started craving their bacon, egg, and cheese McMuffin, so instead of secretly going through the drive-thru, I decided to make it myself at home.
Here is my favorite Bacon, Egg, and Cheese McMuffin:
- 100 calorie English Muffin toasted
- 1 Fat Free Cheese Slice
- 1 strip of turkey bacon
- ¼ cup Egg Whites or Egg Beaters
- In order to cook the eggs so that they fit perfectly in my McMuffin I throw them in a coffee mug and cook them in the microwave for a few minutes. Scooping the egg out of the cup gives you a perfectly round egg that doesn’t fall apart while you are eating your sandwich!
Calories: 195 calories Fat: 3.5g
Voila… a Bacon, Egg and Cheese McMuffin with half the calories and nowhere near the fat.
Say good-bye to McDonald’s this morning and go make your breakfast this morning exciting. . . cook yourself a McMuffin

I will admit that I really miss Egg McMuffins. I have made them at home, but I’ve never used a cup to nuke the egg–brilliant!
Ooh we do this but with the “alternative bagels” (from Walmart in the deli section) in WW speak they are one point. And we do the Morning star Sausage patties (2pts) and egg beaters and FF cheese. So good, my BF eats them every morning. Sometimes we mix it up with a low cal tortilla for a Breakfast Burrito!
Great idea with the alternative bagels and morning star sausage! I am going to have to try that next time. Thanks
