I am always confused with this, for example.
1 piece fried bacon
total cal 90
fat cal 70

90 cal with or without grease?
«134

    Generally, if the package says something like "2 pan fried slices" they assume you fry the bacon and drain the grease.

    Yes, they are not assuming you are drinking the grease but if you do it may get things moving for you haha

    Calorie counts and food weights assume pre-cooked, unless noted. Bacon is usually noted as pan-fried, where the grease has mostly rendered off. If you save it and cook with it (everyone should, it makes the best scrambled eggs), be sure to add the calories to your diary.

    It means than from the 90 total calories, 70 are from the fat part of the bacon and 20 from the meaty part.

    so if I use a strip of bacon with 90 cal on the label, fry it, then cook my vegggie in the grease, how many calories should I add?

    Bacon is a negative calorie food becauuse the raptures from its deliciousness burn off my calories than you gain from eating it.

    but the grease comes from the fat part, right? Does that mean all that grease counts around 70 cal of the total 90?

    I'd say don't add any since the fat already came from the bacon?

    Ditto.

    And if you burn it to a tasty, delicious crisp then all the grease is gone anyway!!! TA-DA!! (your welcome)

    Edit for spelling.

    maybe my initial question was not very clear. I use bacon as oil base to cook. I don't just eat toasty bacon.
