Like all of our sandwiches, the Tim Hortons breakfast sandwich is made to order, so customers have the option to have it with egg only, with or without meat, or with or without cheese. Having it on a bagel is another great alternative. At Tim Hortons we feel that by offering a wide menu selection and such ordering options, our customers can decide for themselves.

The following are some examples of substitution options:

Sandwich Component	Substitute with	Reduce Fat by
Breakfast Biscuit	Plain Bagel	10.5g
Pork Sausage	Bacon	10g
Pork Sausage	No Meat	14g
Cheese	No Cheese	3.5g

(The above is based on Canadian nutrition information. For U.S. nutrition information please see below.)

Tim Hortons offers our customers a wide variety of menu items from which to choose. As Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating suggests, it is important to make each Food Guide Serving count and be active every day.

Tim Hortons offers a Nutrition Guide (Canada or U.S.) online, on our trayliners and in our stores (upon request) to aid customers who wish to choose a healthier, balanced diet. Below are some suggestions of how Tim Hortons food selections can fit into Canada's Food Guide categories.

Vegetables & Fruits - Soups, Fruit Juice (Apple, Orange), Yogurt and Berries

Grain Products - Bagels, Bread, Low Fat Muffin, Bran Muffin

Milk & Alternatives - Yogurt & Berries, Swiss and Cheddar Cheese, Cream Cheeses (Light and Regular), Milk, Chocolate Milk

Meat & Alternatives - Chili, Ham & Swiss Sandwich, Chicken Salad Sandwich, Egg Salad Sandwich, Baked Beans (Quebec Only)

Here are some "Healthful Hints" on how to lower the fat content of some of the products sold at Tim Hortons:

• Hold the dressing on your "Tim's Own" sandwich
• Choose clear based soups versus cream based soups
• Use 2% milk in your coffee instead of cream
• Use 2% White Milk or 1% Chocolate Milk in place of the Cream in your Iced Cappuccino
• Bagels are a low fat alternative and cream cheese is available in light varieties.
• Low fat muffins all contain less than 3g of fat.
• Try our Yogurt & Berries, with less than 2.5g of fat per serving

At this time we do not have a sugar free baked good on our menu. We can, however, suggest some products that would be better choices for those requiring a lower sugar intake.

The products we offer which are lower in sugar would be tea biscuits, bagels and donuts with no glazes or fillings. You may also wish to consider adding a sugar free flavor shot to your coffee. These flavors include: hazelnut, butter caramel, french vanilla, toasted almond, mint, and other feature flavors - each taste great when added to coffee.
