Build-Your-Own Omelet
While some of the pre-made omelets at Waffle House may be high in calories, you can customize a healthier version. For example, you can request for bacon, 2 eggs, jalapenos and grilled mushrooms which are rich in nutrients like copper and vitamin B.
Bert’s Chili
Are you in the mood for something warm and comforting? Grab a side of Bert’s Chili which has only 150 calories without toppings. You may choose to get it with onions, jalapenos and tomatoes for freshness and added nutrients. The beans in the chili provide a good source of protein and fiber, making it a satisfying and healthy choice.
Quarter-Pounder Angus Burger
If you’re craving a burger, the Quarter-Pounder Angus Burger is a great option just skip the cheese. This burger has 570 calories and you can pair it with a side of grits for added iron and a healthier alternative to hash browns.
Egg Breakfast
Sometimes, simplicity is key. The classic Egg Breakfast from Waffle House includes two eggs, your choice of side (tomatoes or hash browns), and toast. Choose wheat bread instead of white bread for added nutrients, as wheat bread contains more micronutrients.
Classic Waffle
Yes, you can still indulge in a classic waffle at Waffle House without throwing your healthy eating out the window. A Classic Waffle has just under 410 calories, making it a reasonable treat. While it may not be a complete meal on its own, you can pair it with protein-rich sides like eggs or a side of chicken.
