It has been widely reported that McDonald’s Egg White Delight delivers 50 fewer calories than the Egg McMuffin. However, you need to know all the nutrition facts to determine if those lower calories translate into a healthier sandwich. Taste is also an important factor if you are going to include the Egg White Delight as part of a healthier diet on a regular basis. I will cover in detail the Nutrition Facts for the Egg White Delight compared to the Egg McMuffin. I will also let you know how the Egg White Delight stacks up for taste.

Ingredients for the McDonald’s Egg White Delight

McDonald’s did more than just remove the yoke from the Egg McMuffin to create the Egg White Delight. Almost every ingredient has changed.

Let me start with the Egg Whites. In the past, fast food restaurants have had a bad reputation for delivering less than real food. However, in this case McDonald’s really does deliver real egg whites and nothing more. No fillers, no artificial flavors, no long list of ingredients that look more like a science experiment than food. The egg whites are also prepared using liquid margarine.

Next is the cheese. Here McDonald’s replaces the Pasteurized Process American Cheese with Pasteurized Process White Cheddar Cheese. With the main ingredients consisting of real Milk, Water, Cheese Culture and Cream, this cheese is looking good.

The English muffin used for the Egg White Delight is also new and has 8 grams of Whole Grains. The Whole Grain English Muffin used in the Egg White Delight will also replace the English muffin for all breakfast items that use an English muffin. The English muffin also has liquid margarine sprayed on.

The Canadian bacon also looks good. McDonald’s Canadian bacon starts with real pork. The rest of the ingredients are standard for making Canadian bacon. This is the same Canadian bacon as is used in the regular Egg McMuffin.

All in all the basic ingredients for the Egg White Delight do make for a wholesome breakfast. There is not much in the way of extra ingredients. There are a few preservatives used but this is normal for the ingredients used.

Tasting the McDonald’s Egg White Delight

It seems that the April 22 date was not the official start date for the Egg White Delight. It was really the date that the product was to start shipping to the restaurants. So, I was not able to get an Egg White Delight on April 22. It was several days before I finally found one at the McDonald’s at 2796 Main Street in San Diego, CA. It was not on the menu yet but I was able to ask for one. As usual for this particular store, the service was fast and friendly. The Egg White Delight that I was served was hot and fresh.

The egg whites had a good volume that made them light and fluffy. I like the White Cheddar Cheese better than the American cheese. The mild flavor complemented the egg whites without overpowering it as I think the American cheese would have. The saltines of the Canadian bacon works very well with the egg whites. I thought a whole grain English muffin would be dry and grainy. However, McDonald’s is somehow able to provide a healthier better tasting English muffin while maintaining the consistency of the original. Overall, I like the mild flavor of the Egg White Delight.
