Where can you go for a good breakfast around here in the midwest?

I suffer from multiple health issues and "must" watch my intake of the amount of sodium and cholesterol. I have found that a person can make a unhealthy IHop of Denny's meal healthier especially breakfast. Substitute egg beater type egg substitute for regular scrambled eggs; whole grain or wheat english muffin with cholesterol free spread; low fat cottage cheese with peach slices; and low fat milk or coffee if you're caffeine consumer. Two egg substitute is 60 calories vs 140 calories in two regular eggs; cholesterol is 0mg vs 430mg in regular eggs; and the protein is the same 12mg for both. If you happen to like hash browns, then request they be dry fried on the grill with no added oil; most places these days carry turkey alternatives for the pork/beef sausages or bacon, also low in cholesterol. Your meal is as you request it to be made, no directions by you, then the unhealthy crap is dished out to you. You'll also find that at the drive through type breakfast places, if you go in and make your special request breakfast meal, you'll end up with what you want and not holding up those behind you who choose to eat crap and are burning gas waiting on you. We live in an unhealthy world and we have to hunt more often for what we want in the quest to stay healthy while the rest of the world goes along it's merry high cholesterol and sodium way. I'll choose inconvenience for better health every second of the day versus having the health issues come back on me. Sorry to be so long in my answer, but take care and I hope this helped.
