The worst breakfast in America as reported in the article America’s Worst Breakfast Foods on MSN health & fitness on Sept 25, 2008. 

Bob Evans Stacked and Stuffed Caramel Banana Pecan Hotcakes

1,543 calories
77 g fat (26 g saturated; 9 g trans)

SATURATED FAT EQUIVALENT: 26 STRIPS OF BACON

It’s not a good sign when it takes you nearly five seconds to spit out the name of your breakfast. This bad boy packs in more than 75 percent of your calories for the day, along with more sugar and fat than nine glazed Dunkin’ Donuts, and nearly as much sodium as five Bloody Marys.

Eat this instead!
