Eating a good breakfast is the best way to start the day. Burger King offers a wide variety of choices, some way better than others. We love their French toast sticks dunked in syrup (25g of sugar!) but there are better options. Hint: Anytime a fast food restaurant uses these words; “ultimate, enormous, double, triple or decadent,” you can skip right past that item!
