How many calories are in a sausage biscuit?
A regular sausage biscuit weighs 110 g and carries 409 calories. Per 100 g the sandwich runs 372 calories. Most of that sits in two places: the shortening in the biscuit and the fat in the patty. Order the large, 165 g, and you are at 614 calories.
You'd need to walk about 82 minutes to burn the 409 calories in one regular biscuit (110 g).

Sausage biscuit quick facts
The row behind every number here is FNDDS 2707339, "Sausage biscuit sandwich" — the plain American version, a split buttermilk biscuit around a cooked pork patty, no egg and no cheese. That is the thing most people are holding when they look this up, so it is the base for the page. Chain recipes and frozen brands get their own rows further down instead of being blended into an average.
One regular biscuit is 110 g. Everything in the right-hand column is that 110 g scaled from the USDA per-100-g figures.
| Nutrient | Per 100 g | Per 1 regular biscuit (110 g) | % Daily Value |

| Total fat | 24.47 g | 26.9 g | 35% |
| Saturated fat | 11.63 g | 12.8 g | 64% |

Verified nutrition data
Numbers on this page come from USDA FoodData Central, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s food composition database, and from manufacturer labels where a branded product is named. Last verified September 2026. How we verify our data →
Two label lines are missing on purpose. This FNDDS edition does not publish added sugars or trans fat for the dish, so those rows would be guesses and they are left out. Cholesterol comes to 36 mg per biscuit (12% DV) and potassium to 217 mg (5% DV), both modest next to the sodium line.
US servings, from one ounce to two biscuits
| Serving | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 1 oz | 28 g | 104 kcal |
| One regular sausage biscuit | 110 g | 409 kcal |
| One large sausage biscuit | 165 g | 614 kcal |
| Two regular biscuits | 220 g | 818 kcal |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 372 kcal |
The 110 g regular and the 165 g large are the two USDA household portions, and they are the only two sizes worth memorizing. The 1 oz line and the two-biscuit line are our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure, not USDA servings — the ounce is useful only for weighing a half-eaten biscuit, and the pair is there because a two-pack is how these come out of the freezer box.
Notice the spread. Moving from regular to large adds 205 calories without changing a single ingredient. Very few breakfast decisions cost that much for so little visible difference.
With cheese, with egg, and the large size
| Version | Per 100 g | Typical piece | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plain sausage biscuit | 372 kcal | 1 regular, 110 g | 409 kcal |
| Sausage biscuit with cheese | 370 kcal | 1 regular, 135 g | 500 kcal |
| Large sausage biscuit | 372 kcal | 1 large, 165 g | 614 kcal |
| McDonald's Sausage Biscuit | 376 kcal | 1 item, 4.1 oz (117 g) | 440 kcal |
| McDonald's Sausage Biscuit with Egg | 311 kcal | 1 item, 5.7 oz (163 g) | 507 kcal |
| Egg sandwich on biscuit, with sausage | 310 kcal | no gram weight published | — |
The cheese version is the sneaky one. FNDDS 2707340 is 370 calories per 100 g, slightly below the plain biscuit, because the slice swaps some dough for fat and water. But the sandwich weighs 135 g instead of 110 g, so it lands at 500 calories with 16.7 g of saturated fat and 1,204 mg of sodium. The per-100-g number went down and the meal went up by 91 calories.
The egg versions do the same trick, harder. Egg is mostly water, so it drags the density down to 310–311 calories per 100 g while adding 45 g or more to the sandwich. If you want a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit specifically, USDA does not carry that exact three-way combination in this release — the closest published records are the cheese version at 500 calories and the egg version at 507, so somewhere around those two is the honest answer.
Chain and frozen sausage biscuits
The SR Legacy record for a McDonald's Sausage Biscuit is 376 calories per 100 g, and the 4.1 oz (117 g) sandwich comes to 440 calories — 31 more than the generic biscuit, with 1,024 mg of sodium. Add the egg and the item weighs 163 g for 507 calories.
The freezer aisle sits in the same band. Across six USDA Branded records, Jimmy Dean is the densest at 403 calories per 100 g and Ballard's Farm the lightest at 338, with Bob Evans and Odom's Tennessee Pride both at 341. Because the pack sizes differ, the per-sandwich numbers cross over: a 99 g Jimmy Dean biscuit is 399 calories, a 88 g Bob Evans one is 300, and a 107 g Pierre biscuit is 381. Reading the gram weight on the box tells you more than the brand name does.
Sodium and saturated fat are the rows to watch
Calories are not the interesting part of this sandwich. Salt is. One regular biscuit carries 957 mg of sodium, 42% of the FDA Daily Value of 2,300 mg — a little under half a teaspoon of table salt, in a breakfast you finish in four bites. Two of them come to 1,914 mg, or 83% of the day, and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans put 2,300 mg as the ceiling, not the target.
Saturated fat is the other one. A regular biscuit has 12.8 g, which is 64% of the FDA Daily Value of 20 g. The large size has 19.2 g — 96% of the whole day, before 9 a.m. That single jump, from 110 g to 165 g, is the most expensive choice on the menu board.
On the credit side, 11.7 g of protein is 23% of the Daily Value, which is a real contribution toward the protein foods group MyPlate describes. Fiber does not follow: 1.8 g is 6% of the day, because a refined-flour biscuit brings almost none. If you are watching sodium, the ham biscuit below is the better pick; if you want the protein without the salt, eggs on their own do the job for less.
How does a sausage biscuit compare?
| Biscuit sandwich | Per 100 g | Protein | Fat | USDA serving |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sausage biscuit | 372 kcal | 10.66 g | 24.47 g | one regular, 110 g — 409 kcal |
| Bacon biscuit | 382 kcal | 13.71 g | 23.2 g | no gram weight published |
| Ham biscuit | 322 kcal | 11.56 g | 18.1 g | no gram weight published |
| Egg and sausage on a biscuit | 310 kcal | 10.96 g | 21.35 g | no gram weight published |
FNDDS publishes no gram weight for those three, so per 100 g is the only fair line to compare them on; per-sandwich totals for them would be invented.
Our take: bacon does not save you anything. It reads leaner and it is higher per gram, 382 against 372, though it does bring the most protein of the four. Two of the four are genuinely lighter — the ham biscuit at 322 and the egg-and-sausage version at 310 — and ham is the one we would order, since it cuts fat by roughly a quarter per 100 g while keeping the protein. If you are staying with sausage, take the regular and skip the cheese; that one choice is the difference between 409 and 500 calories.

Sausage biscuit FAQs
How many calories are in a sausage biscuit?
A regular sausage biscuit of 110 g has 409 calories, from the USDA FNDDS record at 372 calories per 100 g. That is the standard counter size with a pork patty, no egg and no cheese. A large 165 g biscuit is 614 calories, and two regulars come to 818.
How many calories in a McDonald's sausage biscuit?
The USDA record for a McDonald's Sausage Biscuit is 376 calories per 100 g, and the 4.1 oz (117 g) sandwich comes to 440 calories. That is 31 more than the generic 110 g biscuit, mostly because the chain patty and biscuit are a little larger. With egg it is 507.
How much sodium is in a sausage biscuit?
One regular biscuit carries 957 mg of sodium, 42% of the FDA Daily Value of 2,300 mg and a little under half a teaspoon of table salt. The large size runs 1,436 mg, or 62%. Eat two regulars and you are at 1,914 mg, 83% of the day.
How much protein does a sausage biscuit have?
A 110 g sausage biscuit has 11.7 g of protein, 23% of the Daily Value. That is respectable for a hand-held breakfast, though it arrives with 26.9 g of fat. The McDonald's version is similar at 11.3 g, while the one with egg reaches about 18.4 g per sandwich.
Is a sausage biscuit a healthy breakfast?
One biscuit is 409 calories with 12.8 g of saturated fat, 64% of the Daily Value, 957 mg of sodium and only 1.8 g of fiber. The protein is fine; the salt and saturated fat are what make it a treat rather than a routine. If you order one, the regular beats the large by 205 calories.
How many calories in a frozen Jimmy Dean sausage biscuit?
Jimmy Dean lists 403 calories per 100 g, and the 99 g (3.54 oz) label serving comes to 399 calories. Across six USDA Branded frozen sausage biscuits the range runs 338 to 403 per 100 g, so the freezer version sits right where the breakfast-counter one does.
Which is lower in calories, a sausage biscuit or a bacon biscuit?
Per 100 g the bacon biscuit is higher, 382 calories against 372 for the sausage version, and it also carries more protein at 13.71 g. FNDDS publishes no gram weight for the bacon sandwich, so the two can only be compared per 100 g. The ham biscuit is the lighter option at 322.
How many calories in a large sausage biscuit?
A large sausage biscuit weighs 165 g and comes to 614 calories at the USDA rate of 372 per 100 g. It also brings 19.2 g of saturated fat, 96% of the Daily Value, and 1,436 mg of sodium. Size moves this sandwich more than any filling does.
