Helpful Hints

• For comparison, a fast food sausage egg sandwich contains 800 to 1,135 mg sodium, 280 mg phosphorus, 30 grams fat and 255 mg cholesterol.
• Replacing egg with low-cholesterol egg product helps reduce phosphorus, cholesterol and fat.
• English muffin size: 2 ounces; turkey sausage patty size: 1 ounce. Look for sausage with lowest sodium content.

I had a patient make this last week and raved about it. Definitely a better alternative than a fast food breakfast sandwich

This egg and sausage breakfast sandwich helps my cravings for biscuits as well as for cheese, which are both high in phosphorous, and also has needed protein to boot.

This breakfast sounds good but I am allowed only 2000 mg of sodium a day so this is too much for me to have for breakfast! I'd rather skip the sausage and use the sodium in other ways . :)
