I just discovered that I like bacon, although I avoided it most of my life lol!

So I love my caesar salads packed with bacon. Bacon is relatively low in calories, by that I mean, I can add enough bacon to keep me full to salad and still remain under 280 calories.

The question is, abs are made in the kitchen, right? So is bacon bad for you in that sense? Is it one of those foods that you're not supposed to eat on a healthy diet?

    Bacon is pretty much the greatest thing in the universe.

    Bacon calories are no worse for belly fat than any other calories.

    So enjoy.

    I don't eat it often but I usually get the Jennie-O reduced sodium turkey bacon - mostly because I can't eat beef. If I could eat beef, I would totally eat full on, real beef bacon every once in a while!

    You do know that Bacon is made from pork... Not beef

    And on top of that, how could someone eat turkey but not be able to eat beef? Who "can't" eat beef?

    There are no rational explanation for why someone should not eat bacon.

    They do make beef bacon... It's weird and nothing like the amazingness that is pork... but it does exist!

    I LOVE IT ... Though, I opt for the nitrate free stuff ... There are few things more delicious than pork fat ... Sadly, todays pork is a bit TOO lean for my liking ...

    Fair point, but she looks remarkably non-Hindu.

    My take: bacon. Everyday. Sometimes twice a day.

    I know nothing about the poster who said she can't eat beef. I was just answering your question. :)
