But mostly you are right. It is a lot of carbs. And that is before the sugar water is added to the pancakes, the jelly to the toast and the ketchup to the hash browns. The fried eggs are about the only nutrient dense foods on the plate.
Some sliced tomatoes and a apple would help. A glass of milk for some calcium.
One of my aunts who was a naturalist like my mom made hash browns with scrubbed, unpeeled grated potatoes and they were great-they actually had a real flavor and a nice texture, too. I don’t like peeled potatoes even now. The ham isn’t bad as a protein source, but you are right about the eggs-the best real food on the plate-the eggs and a couple slices of bacon are a good breakfast. I wonder if a sliced tomato as a side can be ordered-or an apple or orange? Yogurt or cheese is supposed to be a better calcium source than milk for adults-I don’t know if a side of real cheese or yogurt would be available at Denny’s...
