Looking to grab a quick and somewhat healthy meal while you?re running errands, chauffeuring the kids or road-tripping for the weekend" There?s a good chance you?ll find a Tim Hortons close by. That?s because there are over 3,500 Tim?s across Canada (that?s more than the number of McDonald?s, KFC and A&W combined).
It?s not always easy to source fast food that?s filled with vegetables and protein (as opposed to sugar and sodium). Ordering wisely takes some know-how, and I?ve discovered that the secret to making better-for-you meals at Tim?s is customization. Since everything is made fresh, it?s entirely within your power to skip bacon, add extra tomato or swap processed cheese for cheddar to make meals more nutritious. Here?s how to navigate the menu to make your own healthy-ish options. Egg and cheddar on an English muffin
By default, breakfast sandwiches are made with processed cheese, which has almost triple the sodium content of real cheddar. Luckily Tim?s carries both types of cheese. Customize your sandwich by pairing real cheddar with egg, lettuce and tomato. Choose an English muffin (143 calories) over a bagel (330 calories), and omit the sausage to eliminate 16 grams of fat and 176 mg of sodium.
