Wetherspoon pubs serve up unhealthiest High St breakfast with TWICE recommended daily fat intake
The calorific meal leaves doctors shocked at three times recommended salt dose
PUB chain JD Wetherspoon serves up the unhealthiest High St breakfast at a belly-bulging 1,531 calories.
Its large set menu offering contains 40g of saturated fat — twice an adult’s recommended daily intake.
The meal typically includes two eggs, bacon, two sausages, beans, three hash browns, mushroom, tomato and two slices of toast for around £5.29.
Harvester’s Ultimate Breakfast Bap is the second most calorific at 1,307 while Wimpy’s all-day breakfast has 900.
GP Wayne Osborne, of health website Treated.com, studied nutritional information from 11 chains also including Greggs, McDonald’s and Starbucks.
He was startled by the 18.3g of salt in the Wetherspoon dish, adding: “We thought an error had been made. It’s three times an adult’s reference intake.”
Wetherspoon said it lists calorie content of all dishes on its menus and that a range of 23 breakfasts are available.
