The 5 Healthiest Food Options at Waffle House
Here’s what to order if you want to eat healthy at Waffle House.
1. Egg Breakfast with 2 Eggs, Wheat Toast, and Tomatoes – 410 Calories
The 2 Egg breakfast with wheat toast and tomatoes at Waffle House has 410 calories.
Ask for your eggs to be poached instead of scrambled. This will reduce your calorie count from approximately 410 calories to 390 calories.
Also ask for no butter on the bread.
2. Grilled Chicken Sandwich – 480 Calories
A grilled chicken sandwich at Waffle House includes chicken breast, lettuce, tomatoes, and grilled onions on a grilled bun.
Ask for your sandwich on wheat toast with no butter to reduce the calorie count from 480 calories to 370 calories.
3. Egg Breakfast with 3 Eggs and Tomatoes (No Toast) – 220 Calories
One poached egg has approximately 70 calories.
Ask for three poached eggs (the scrambled eggs have lots of oil and butter from the frying pan) for a high protein, low calorie food option.
A tomato slice only has 10 calories and is very healthy for you.
4. Large Bowl of Chili – 230 Calories
A large bowl of the Bert’s Chili only has 230 calories.
Add smoked ham for an extra 60 calories and more protein. This would bring your calorie count to 290 calories.
Feel free to add grilled onions, grilled tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, and grilled mushrooms too.
Just avoid the sausage gravy.
5. All the Sides: City Ham and Two Sausage Patties – 370 Calories
Don’t order all the sides at Waffle House…please!
But DO order a side of the city ham (110 calories) with two sausage patties (260 calories).
Ordering city ham and two sausage patties are a great option if you are on a Keto or low-carb diet.
