Convenience sandwiches and hash brown sides often combine refined buns, processed cheese, high sodium meats, and fried potatoes, creating a heavy dose of rapidly absorbed carbs plus saturated fat. This combination can slow you down despite the initial salt and fat driven satisfaction.

Planning a portable homemade wrap with eggs, black beans, and greens can outpace drive thru speed once the habit is formed.
