“Whether enjoyed with the classic filet and bacon or customized with an egg or sausage, the new Chicken & Waffles Breakfast Sandwich offers an unexpected way for guests to prioritize protein in their morning routine

“Including protein in a moderately sized breakfast can help you feel satisfied, energetic and focused during your morning hours

“While adding more protein may be the right choice for some, a healthy balanced diet also includes sufficient vegetables, fruits, beans and whole grains.

“If you are really in the mood for a chicken and waffles morning, you can balance the rest of your day with lots of vegetables, fruits and fiber at lunch and dinner

“The best time to eat protein is consistently throughout the day

“We want to be fueling our body all throughout the day so that our body is expecting to sleep in the evening

“Whether it's serotonin and tryptophan, anti-inflammatory nutrients, we want to make sure that we're eating with intention, so we're giving our body the building blocks it needs to create sleep in the evening

“While an omelet with vegetables and a chicken, waffle, bacon and egg sandwich may contain the same grams of protein, the latter will be much higher in saturated fat and calories.
