I really dislike the canned eggs, which many hotels at all the with-breakfast brands have, nor do I like flavored yogurt. Isn't yogurt a flavor? And why do fruit flavors usually have to include jelly? And don't get me started on microwavable Jimmy Dean sandwiches. The more fresh unadulterated and from scratch options the better IMO, which is more hotel specific than brand specific.

ADDED: [MENTION=756468]NDN[/MENTION] - we posted at the same time. Glad to see I'm not the only one not liking Jimmy Dean sandwiches!

Besides that I don't eat pork or carbs, those sandwiches are all soggy garbage. The only way I stay in budget and keto when traveling is to eat one, giant, egg breakfast a day and then use all the money I didn't spend on any other food for 2 or 3 days on a huge, expensive meal.
