How many calories are in eaggs benedict?

Question

I had eaggs benedict for brunch today and a glass of sweet tea . How many calories roughly is that. I thought about 800 or 900. Is that about right? The eaggs benedict was on a piece of english muffin and had 2 small crab cakes on it.

Thanks!

Answer 1

If it was just eggs, muffin and crabcakes, you're probably still over 500 calories

poached eggs - about 75 calories each

english muffin - 100-ish

easily 300 calories in the 2 crab cakes - especially since they are fried

But most benedicts have hollandaise sauce, and that's the part that kills you - the real deal is probably 1000 calories a cup. Now you didn't eat close to a cup, but it's all butter and egg yolk.

it says 238 per serving.

I know McDonald's guy who created the egg mcmuffin coped it off eggs Benedict and its the lowest calorie thing on menu.I think you cant beat Canadian bacon on things there's not as much fat in it.
