About Full English Breakfast
The classic British fry-up: bacon, sausages, a fried egg, baked beans, toast, grilled tomato, mushrooms and black pudding. A full plate is about 896 kcal with 47.5 g protein — a big meal, but most of the calories come from the sausages, bacon and black pudding.
Tip: Grill rather than fry, swap sausages for an extra egg, and skip the fried bread. Each slice of buttered toast adds about 110 kcal.
