When does McDonald’s start serving breakfast? How to get your Egg McMuffin

Craving a hash brown after a night out? Or maybe you're running late to work and don't have time to prepare food?

Whatever your reason, a McDonald's breakfast can be just what you need to start the day.

In the 1960s, American nutritionist Adelle Davis suggested that breakfast was crucial to staying fit. Recent studies have found breakfast is a good opportunity to fuel your body with nutrients, and although other meals throughout the day are equally important, it’s beneficial to listen to your hunger cues, according to Medical News Today.

Now, we wouldn't argue that fast food is the healthiest option for the first meal of the day, but sometimes it's the most convenient.
