Variations
Many similar sandwiches exist, substituting alternative meat products for the bacon, or using different varieties of cheese or bread.[4]
A typical sandwich with these ingredients has about 20 grams of fat and 350 kilocalories (1,500 kilojoules) of food energy.[5][6] A version has been adapted to make a low-carbohydrate meal.[7][8] In the United States, the bacon egg and cheese sandwich has also been modified into a prepackaged food product as a Hot Pocket (170 kcal or 710 kJ and 7 grams of fat) and a Lean Pocket (150 kcal or 630 kJ and 4.5 grams of fat).[5]
