NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Burger King has unveiled a new breakfast sandwich that's a huge bet not everyone is dieting.

The No. 2 fast food chain debuted its Enormous Omelet Sandwich Monday. The sandwich has one sausage patty, two eggs, two American cheese slices and three strips of bacon.

That works out to 730 calories and 47 grams of fat -- more than a Whopper burger, which the Burger King Web site said has 700 calories and 42 grams of fat.

While the new breakfast sandwich goes against the trend at some competitors to offer healthier fare, some analysts were quoted as saying the new sandwich is likely to be a sales success.

"The critics will still label it food porn," Sherri Daye Scott, editor at fast-food magazine QSR, told USA Today, which first reported the story. "But the average male fast-food customer does not have a problem with this."

Scott was right -- the new breakfast sandwich was quickly criticized due to health concerns.

"Eating like this is a step on the way to a heart attack," Fred Pescatore, author of The Hamptons Diet told the paper. "It's irresponsible."

Morgan Spurlock, who ridiculed McDonald's in the documentary film "Super Size Me," told the paper that Burger King's new breakfast sandwich, "should come with a $5-off coupon for your first angioplasty."

Still the paper said the new offering could also make Burger King more of a player in the breakfast market, where USA Today reports it is quite a bit behind McDonald's (Research).

Burger King has been privately held since it was sold by British food conglomerate Diageo to a group led by Texas Pacific Group in 2002.

I like the picture - the fucking thing is on a sub roll...

You know when they would sell the largest # of those things? After midnight on the weekend.

It looks like the perfect drunk food.

fat,even saturated fat is not nearly as bad for you as refined carbs
we've been eating meat as a species for a couple of million years
only in the last 200 or so has sugar and refined carbs been so heavy in our diets
if you ate theat sausage,bacon,eggs and cheese and no carbs for breakfast every morning
exercised regularly,your lipid profiles would be fine

I think you have reprogrammed your hammy penis to release all your lipids into your plumpers to keep them fattened up.
