    If you're aiming to keep your carbs under a certain amount, like 50 grams, then fat and protein don't offset carbs. If you're aiming for a percentage, then sure. I read the label and don't buy bacon that contains sugar. I wouldn't throw bacon out if I'd already bought it, over 3 carbs in a serving.

    Sugar isn't burned off when I bake a cake or make carmalized sugar for flan. I don't think it burns out of the bacon either.

    As a general rule, if it is the flesh of an animal it doesn't have carbs. If it was ever connected to the ground via roots, it contains carbs (including if it was processed by humans or animals - think honey - pollen processed by bees, sugar - cane or beet processed mechanically, milk - grass/grains processed by cows.
