How many calories are in an egg and cheese biscuit?
One regular egg and cheese biscuit weighs 160 g and carries 504 calories. Per 100 g the sandwich runs 315 calories, which is dense for something you eat with one hand. The biscuit is where most of that sits: butter-style dough, a folded egg, melted cheese and bacon, gone in about six bites.
You'd need to walk about 101 minutes to burn the 504 calories in one regular sandwich (160 g).

Egg and cheese biscuit quick facts
The number above comes from the USDA survey record FNDDS 2707327, "Egg sandwich on biscuit, with bacon and cheese", collected in the 2021-2023 cycle. That record was picked for a plain reason: it is the freshest entry that includes cheese and it carries real household portions, a regular sandwich and a large one, so the figure matches the object in your hand rather than an abstract 100 g of filling.
There is no USDA survey row for a biscuit holding only egg and cheese, so the headline number here includes bacon. That matters less than it sounds, and the next section explains why.

Two rows that appear on a wrapper are missing here on purpose. USDA does not publish added sugars or trans fat for the survey sandwich records, so putting a number in either row would mean inventing one. Percent Daily Values follow the FDA reference amounts for a 2,000-calorie day.
US servings from one ounce to a large sandwich
| Serving | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 1 oz | 28 g | 88 kcal |
| Half a regular sandwich | 80 g | 252 kcal |
| One regular sandwich | 160 g | 504 kcal |
| One large sandwich | 240 g | 756 kcal |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 315 kcal |
The regular and large sandwiches are USDA household measures, taken straight from the record. The ounce line and the half sandwich are our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure, not USDA servings, which is why they land on tidy fractions.
The gap between the two real servings is the thing worth writing down. A large biscuit sandwich is 756 calories against 504 for a regular, a difference of 252 calories for a menu item that often reads the same on the board and looks similar in the bag. If you log breakfast by name instead of by size, that single word costs you more than a banana and a coffee combined.
Which version of the biscuit are you holding?
| Version | fdc_id | Per 100 g | Typical piece | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bacon, egg and cheese biscuit | 2707327 | 315 kcal | 1 regular sandwich (160 g) | 504 kcal |
| Sausage, egg and cheese biscuit | 2707325 | 316 kcal | 1 regular sandwich (190 g) | 600 kcal |
| Fast-food bacon, egg and cheese biscuit | 172029 | 301 kcal | 1 item (145 g) | 436 kcal |
| McDonald's Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit | 172069 | 304 kcal | 1 item, 4.9 oz (142 g) | 432 kcal |
| Frozen sausage, egg and cheese breakfast biscuit | 169781 | 324 kcal | 1 biscuit (126 g) | 408 kcal |
| Jimmy Dean frozen sausage, egg and cheese biscuit | 169784 | 328 kcal | 1 biscuit (128 g) | 420 kcal |
Swap bacon for sausage and the density barely moves, 316 calories per 100 g against 315. The portion is what moves: a sausage version weighs about 190 g, so it lands at 600 calories, nearly a hundred over the bacon sandwich. Sausage also shifts the balance inside the sandwich, up to 22.14 g of fat per 100 g and down to 17.04 g of carbohydrate.
Here is the part most breakfast trackers get backwards. USDA also lists a biscuit sandwich with egg and nothing else at 298 calories per 100 g, and one with bacon but no cheese at 309. Strip both the bacon and the cheese out of a 315-calorie sandwich and you save 17 calories per 100 g, about 5%. The biscuit is the calorie source. The filling is the flavor.
Frozen biscuits behave differently again. They are denser per gram, 324 to 328 calories per 100 g, but they come in smaller pieces, so a single frozen sandwich lands near 408 to 420 calories. USDA's Branded database returns no packaged product rows for a plain egg and cheese biscuit, so the frozen figures here come from the SR Legacy records rather than from a label.
Saturated fat and sodium are the rows to watch
Calories are not the interesting column on this page. Saturated fat is. One regular sandwich holds 15.9 g, which is 79% of the 20 g Daily Value, before nine in the morning. The large size holds 23.8 g, or 119% of the Daily Value, meaning a single handheld breakfast passes a full day's reference amount on its own. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans put the ceiling at less than 10% of calories from saturated fat, and this sandwich alone spends most of it.
Sodium runs close behind at 1,286 mg per regular sandwich, 56% of the 2,300 mg Daily Value, or roughly half a teaspoon of table salt. The sausage version is actually less salty per gram, 703 mg against 804 mg per 100 g, but its bigger 190 g portion pushes it to 1,336 mg. Size beats concentration, which is the same lesson the calorie column teaches. CDC notes that most sodium in the American diet arrives through packaged and restaurant food, and a breakfast biscuit is a textbook case.
The good news is real too. At 20.8 g, one sandwich covers 42% of the protein Daily Value, which is more than most grab-and-go breakfasts manage. MyPlate counts the egg here as a protein food, and the satiety shows. If you are watching saturated fat, half a sandwich with fruit is the better trade: 252 calories, 10.4 g protein, and just under 8 g of saturated fat.
How does an egg and cheese biscuit compare?
| Biscuit sandwich | Per 100 g | US serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bacon, egg and cheese biscuit | 315 kcal | one regular sandwich, 160 g | 504 kcal |
| Fast-food biscuit with egg, cheese and bacon | 301 kcal | one item, 145 g | 436 kcal |
| Sausage, egg and cheese breakfast biscuit | 324 kcal | one biscuit, 126 g | 408 kcal |
| Jimmy Dean frozen sausage, egg and cheese biscuit | 328 kcal | one biscuit, 128 g | 420 kcal |
Our take: the survey sandwich is the heaviest of these four on the plate and the second lightest per gram, which tells you everything about where breakfast calories come from. The two frozen biscuits are the densest per 100 g of the four, yet they finish lowest because they are more than 30 g smaller. If the goal is a lower number, buy the smaller sandwich rather than hunting for a leaner filling; if the goal is staying full to lunch, the 160 g sandwich with 20.8 g of protein does that job better than any of the frozen pieces here. Splitting a regular sandwich remains the cleanest 252-calorie move on this page.

Egg and cheese biscuit FAQs
How many calories are in an egg and cheese biscuit?
504 calories for one regular sandwich of 160 g, based on the USDA FNDDS record for an egg biscuit with bacon and cheese at 315 calories per 100 g. A large one at 240 g comes to 756. Half a sandwich, our own arithmetic from the 100 g figure, is 252.
How many calories in a large egg and cheese biscuit?
756 calories for a 240 g large sandwich, 252 more than the 160 g regular even though the menu name barely changes. The larger size also pushes saturated fat to 23.8 g, which is 119% of the 20 g Daily Value, and sodium to about 1,930 mg for a single breakfast.
How much protein is in an egg and cheese biscuit?
20.8 g of protein in a regular 160 g sandwich, or 42% of the 50 g Daily Value, from 12.98 g per 100 g. That is real protein for a breakfast sandwich, though it arrives with 32.7 g of fat, so the protein per calorie ratio is only fair.
How much sodium is in an egg and cheese biscuit?
1,286 mg of sodium in one regular 160 g sandwich, which is 56% of the 2,300 mg Daily Value and roughly half a teaspoon of table salt. A large sandwich reaches about 1,930 mg. CDC puts most American sodium in packaged and restaurant food, and this is a clear example.
How much saturated fat is in an egg and cheese biscuit?
15.9 g of saturated fat in a regular sandwich, 79% of the 20 g Daily Value, from 9.92 g per 100 g. Butter-style biscuit dough, melted cheese and bacon all contribute. The large 240 g version reaches 23.8 g, which is more saturated fat than a whole day's reference amount.
How many calories in a McDonald's bacon, egg and cheese biscuit?
432 calories for the 142 g item in the USDA SR Legacy record, at 304 calories per 100 g. It is lighter than the generic 160 g survey sandwich mainly because it weighs 18 g less, not because the recipe is leaner. Chains change formulas, so treat it as an estimate.
How many calories in a frozen egg and cheese biscuit?
408 calories for a 126 g frozen sausage, egg and cheese breakfast biscuit, at 324 calories per 100 g. The Jimmy Dean version is 328 per 100 g and 420 calories for a 128 g biscuit. Frozen biscuits run denser per gram but come in smaller pieces than counter-made sandwiches.
Is an egg and cheese biscuit a healthy breakfast?
One sandwich is 504 calories with 79% of a day's saturated fat and 56% of a day's sodium, so it fits better as an occasional breakfast than a daily one. The 20.8 g of protein is genuinely useful. Half a sandwich, at 252 calories, halves every one of those numbers.
