And which waffles are we talking about? Kashi waffles have less calories then the amount listed here

While the quiz is fun, food is much more than just calories. The overall nutritional value is what makes a food worth eating. I don't think the quiz is suggesting you eat bacon instead of eggs, its just to show how perceptions about food can be wrong.

How about we stop using numbers and measuring cups to quantify our food. I wish I had never seen a nutrition label. My life would be better and I bet I'd be thinner too. It's this thinking that gives us an unhealthy relationship with food.

This is so vague! There is no sizing here. Like, what size muffin? How big is "a bowl"? 1 cup? 3/4 of a cup? Some reference for these would be nice :)

Anonymous - my thoughts exactly! Bacon might have fewer calories in this quiz, but a serving of scrambled eggs will fill me up more (and is less greasy) versus two strips of bacon (as delicious as bacon is). :P

holy mother, thank goodness i abhor bagels and most waffles (i like brussels waffles over liege waffles, which are the chewier, denser, sweeter and richer variety)

True, but in most cases, the higher calorie option is the better breakfast choice. ;)
