If I add a slice of bacon is the fat/calorie content on the package counted as cooked or raw? Obviously the fat content depends on how you cook it and how much fat is rendered before you consume it. Any insight will be appreciated. :smile:

    It will be raw, as is, unless it has a notation of "when prepared as directed" or something similar :)

    FWIW, for most bacon I've cooked the package will specify "__ cooked slice(s)" as a serving size (and we eat a fair amount of bacon!). If it doesn't specify "cooked" then it is counting it as raw.
