Peameal bacon breakfast on a bun

Every 6 weeks or so, my husband and I go to the market and buy chicken breasts. They are individually packed, and then we get scallops and maybe even shrimp. As a treat, we get peameal bacon on a bun. My goodness, just read what it consists of!
We buy it at the Carousel Bakery. The serving size is 245 grams. It is world-famous; according to the article, celebrity chefs and foodie magazines rave about its perfect proportions. Tourists line up for a taste. And locals (that's us) gush over its briny, gooey goodness.
Consider it an occasional treat, says registered dietitian Shannon Crocker.
Six hundred calories is a lot for breakfast, especially if you augment the sandwich with juice and a creamy latter. Thank goodness, we just have coffee, plain. You could still keep within your daily calorie budget if you eat the sandwich and nothing else until lunch-and keep that lunch light.
However, the peameal bacon gives the sandwich its sodium overload: almost 2,000 milligrams just for breakfast.
"The maximum daily allowance is 2,300 milligrams," says Crocker, noting the sodium comes from brining the meat in salt. "So by 10 a.m. you've had your whole day's worth of sodium. That's incredible."
Peameal bacon is considered a healthier choice than regular bacon it's lean, with less fat. But still, you get 21 grams of fat, which is a lot for breakfast.
Must say that this is something to think about. Eating half the sandwich at a time does not work for me. We visit the market at 6 a.m. and I am ready to eat. Oh well, we only do it once in over 6 weeks.
