MIAMI (AP) - Burger King began offering two new breakfast sandwiches Monday, including one that packs more calories and fat than a Whopper.
The Enormous Omelet Sandwich carries 730 calories and 47 grams of fat and comes with two eggs, sausage, three strips of bacon and two slices of melted American cheese on a bun. It's heftier than a Whopper hamburger, which weighs in at 700 calories and 42 grams of fat.
Officials at Miami-based Burger King Corp. said that healthier choices are also available, but surveys showed customers wanted bigger sandwiches.
"By expanding our indulgent breakfast sandwich menu, Burger King restaurants now offer even more alternatives for our guests who want a convenient and filling breakfast," said Russ Klein, Burger King's chief global marketing officer.
The other new breakfast item, the Western Omelet Croissanwich, is a lighter pick with 320 calories and 17 grams of fat. It has fire-grilled onions, ham and melted American cheese inside a folded egg on a croissant.
The omelet sandwich will stay on the menu at about $2.99, but the Western sandwich is in stores until May 8.

For an extra buck-99 you can top that off with a side of haggis and a tall glass of 4% milk. Ummmmm, that's good coronary.

All they have to do to make that sandwich nearly perfect is to cut back on the starches and sugars in the buns because that's the part that kills people.

The Enormous Omelet Sandwich carries 730 calories and 47 grams of fat and comes with two eggs, sausage, three strips of bacon and two slices of melted American cheese on a bun. What's the carb count? That's all that really matters (though with the fast food bun, I'm sure it's pretty high.)

That is the reason why I can't eat Burger King or McDonalds. I'm a diabetic and I can't have any white flour or potatoes so its no fun for me to go to those places and eat their stuff without the buns.

Throw some mayonaise on that sucker, and we have a real winner.

What's the carb count? Just checked it out on Burger King and its 43 GRAMS OF CARBS!!! YIKES - that stuff would bring my sugar level to an all time high!

Went out to eat breakfast with my brother and poured the syrup on my pancakes quite liberally. He said "Do you realize how much sugar is in that"? My reply: As a matter of fact I do. That's WHY I eat it!
