What’s the Best Tim Hortons Breakfast Sandwich? (Full 2025 Ranking)

November 2025 update

How we ranked (quick and fair)

We scored each sandwich on four things—Taste, Protein, Calories-per-satisfaction, and Value/Availability—then broke ties with “real life” factors like how neatly it eats in a car, and how consistent it is from store to store. Nutrition numbers below are practical ranges for Canada in 2025 (builds vary slightly by location and ingredients).

The 2025 Power Rankings

#1 — Bacon, Egg & Cheese (English Muffin)

≈330 kcal • ≈17 g protein • ≈29–31 g carbs • ≈14–16 g fat • ≈700–800 mg sodium
Why it wins: Classic flavour, tidy calories, and enough protein to keep you steady. It’s also the most consistent order across locations and the easiest to eat one-handed in the car.
Best for: Everyday breakfast, weight management without feeling “diet-y”.

#2 — Egg & Cheese (English Muffin)

≈270 kcal • ≈13 g protein • ≈28 g carbs • ≈11 g fat • ≈600–650 mg sodium
Why it’s great: Under ~300 kcal but still satisfying thanks to the warm egg + melted cheese combo. Add a small latte if you want extra protein without much fuss.
Best for: Light days, pre-workout mornings, or pairing with one Omelette Bite.

#3 — Turkey Sausage, Egg & Cheese (English Muffin) (where available)

≈340 kcal • ≈19–21 g protein • ≈30–32 g carbs • ≈13–15 g fat • ≈750–850 mg sodium
Why it’s great: Leaner sausage profile with more protein per calorie than the classic pork version. Taste is pleasantly savoury without being greasy.
Best for: High-protein goal with “sausage flavour” intact.

#4 — Sausage, Egg & Cheese (English Muffin)

≈410 kcal • ≈18–20 g protein • ≈30–33 g carbs • ≈23–25 g fat • ≈850–950 mg sodium
Why it lands here: Delicious and very filling; just heavier. If you’re genuinely hungry, it’s the most satisfying single muffin sandwich—pair with black coffee and call it a day.
Best for: Big appetite mornings or post-workout refuels.

#5 — Bagel B.E.L.T. (Bacon, Egg, Lettuce & Tomato)

≈490–530 kcal • ≈21–28 g protein • ≈59–64 g carbs • ≈16–24 g fat • sodium varies
Why it lands here: The fresh lettuce/tomato makes it feel like a “real” sandwich. The bagel, though, adds a chunk of calories and carbs versus the muffin versions.
Best for: Weekend treat, longer mornings, or when you want something more substantial without going to a diner.

#6 — Bacon Farmer’s Wrap (counts here because many people treat it as “the sandwich”)

≈510–540 kcal • ≈20 g protein • ≈50–53 g carbs • ≈26–28 g fat • ≈1,050–1,150 mg sodium
Why it’s good: Tastes fantastic and feels like a “complete breakfast” thanks to the hash brown inside. The flip side: calories and sodium move up fast.
Best for: When taste and “stick-to-your-ribs” fullness beat strict macros.

#7 — Egg & Cheese Farmer’s Wrap (smallest version)

≈460 kcal • ≈15 g protein • ≈50 g carbs • ≈22 g fat • ≈900–950 mg sodium
Why it sits here: Comforting, portable, and consistent—but lower protein per calorie than the top muffin sandwiches.
Best for: A cozy, grab-and-go wrap when you’re not counting every calorie.

#8 — Biscuit Variants (Bacon/Sausage, Egg & Cheese)

Add ~70–120 kcal vs the muffin versions; protein similar; sodium similar
Why they’re lower: The biscuit tastes great fresh, but on busy mornings it can be crumbly and higher in calories for the same protein. If you love the biscuit, limit add-ons and pair with an unsweet tea.
Best for: Flavour-first days (and when your store’s biscuits are on point).

#9 — Bagel Sandwich (Bacon or Sausage, Egg & Cheese)

≈430–520 kcal depending on bagel and meat; protein ≈17–22 g
Why it drops: The bagel’s extra calories don’t improve protein meaningfully. Still tasty—just not efficient if you’re aiming lean.
Best for: You want that bagel chew—no judgment, just plan the rest of your day around it.

#10 — Croissant Sandwich (Bacon or Sausage, Egg & Cheese)

Typically the highest calories for similar protein
Why it’s last: Buttery, flaky, delicious—and least “macro-friendly.” Save it for a treat morning or road-trip splurge.

• Need more protein? Add one Omelette Bite or choose turkey sausage.

• Pre-workout? Pair a muffin sandwich with plain or maple oatmeal for steady carbs + protein.

• Coffee math: Small latte (2% milk) adds ≈9–12 g protein with modest calories; skip syrups on cut days.

FAQ

Is the Farmer’s Wrap a “sandwich”?
Most people treat it as one in practice. It’s delicious and portable; it just brings more calories and sodium than a muffin sandwich.

What’s the leanest true sandwich?
Egg & Cheese (Muffin) at ≈270 kcal. If you want meat, Bacon, Egg & Cheese (Muffin) stays tidy at ≈330 kcal.

Bagel or biscuit if I’m splurging?
Bagel for chew, biscuit for buttery comfort. Both add calories; biscuits also tend to crumble in the car.

Final Sip: Canada’s Drive-Thru Breakfast, Optimized 🇨🇦☕️

For everyday mornings, you can’t beat the English-muffin line—especially Bacon, Egg & Cheese for taste-to-calories or Egg & Cheese for a tidy sub-300 kcal win. Save wraps, bagels, and croissants for when you want “big breakfast energy.” If you share your calorie + protein targets, I’ll turn this into a week’s worth of ready-to-order Tim’s combos.
