About Bacon
Higher in fat, common in breakfast pairings.
Health Benefits of Bacon
High-fat, high-calorie processed meat
100g of bacon has 405 kcal and 34.0g fat - about 3x chicken breast by density. Made from cured-smoked pork belly (already fatty), moisture loss during processing raises energy density further.
Frying renders out fat
Cooked on a non-stick pan over medium-low, much fat renders out. 2-3 crispy slices (~30g) can release 5-8g fat, so actual intake is below the label figure. Blot on paper towel afterward to cut fat further.
As a flavour accent, not a main course
Smoked-savoury and rich, a little adds depth. Keep to 1-2 slices (15-30g), crumble over salad, pasta or scrambled eggs, with lots of veg and whole-grain bread - use its flavour, not its volume.
