Til with a digital scale that 6 slices of thick bacon strips when baked in the oven weigh 50 grams...
Not sure how to add the calories and nutrition. In raw grams it's less than 2 slices of uncooked bacon at 67 grams.

    Not sure what your question is... Are you asking whether to base calories on 50g or 67? Go for 58g. That's just about the mean average....

    Bacon is going to be about ~40 calories per slice. Just pick an entry in the MFP database and use it consistently. The entries are based on cooked values, not raw, so they already account for water loss and fat separation. If you eat the drained fat (I sometimes use it to cook eggs in, for example) then log that separately as lard.
