Can I have this?

lmd_1979

This morning I had 27g porridge oats with semi skimmed milk (180Kcal) and 2 Bacon rashers grilled on 1 Wholemeal Brown bread not toasted (179Kcal), can I have 2 Bacon rashers grilled on 1 Wholemeal Brown bread not toasted (179Kcal) again for Lunch?

Why wouldn't you be able to eat that? And now I'm inspired to go make myself some delicious bacon.

Phrick

of course you can, why would you not be able to? Aside from "I ran out of bacon" of course :laugh:

I guess I'd ask why you ask the question? There are no MFP rules about what foods you can eat, other than calorie and nutrient recommendations. So, from the perspective, you can eat it if it fits into your calorie and nutrition goals and still be following the plan.

If you are asking from some health perspective, then you really need to look at your whole diet, not just breakfast and lunch on one day. The data suggests that eating a lot of processed meats is not heart healthy. That doesn't mean the 4 slices of bacon today will give you a heart attack, it just means it's a good thing to keep in mind for your diet as a whole, if you care about data regarding heart health.

Why not? Just watch the sodium content on the Bacon.

Watch out - the MFP police may come knocking if they get wind of you eating 4 rashers of bacon.

Why not? Just watch the sodium content on the Bacon.

Came to say this.

Dude, eat WHATEVER you want. If your goal is just to lose weight.... it doesn't matter, period.

As long as you don't go into a surplus of calories OVER YOUR MAINTENANCE you will lose weight.

SuperCrsa

Oh yes, it doesnt matter what time you eat, or how often you repeat a meal, as long as you are within your calorie goals you are good

Could you share that too please?

Depends entirely on your macros. Have you figured out how much protein and fat you need in a day? I'm of the IIFYM school of thought, which basically says that so long as you are getting a balanced diet and hitting your protein and fat goals, actual food choice is unimportant.

A macro goal is 1g of protein per pound of lean mass (total mass - body fat) and 0.35g of protein per pound of total mass. These are good goals for losing fat while retaining muscle mass (coupled with resistance training). By this standard I'd say your plan probably contains too little protein, and that all the carbs are going to reduce your available calories to use for protein and fruit/veg. That's assuming you are on a high deficit, which your tiny breakfast and lunch would imply. Serious - eat more.

On the subject of fruit and veg, you need more (based solely on this tiny snapshot of your diet, of course).

If it fits, go ahead.

The reason I asked is not because of the cals and intake but because of the other stuff which some of the posters have posted. I don't really know enough about the Macro side of things and the Sodium intake is something I want to learn about, but yea as long as it fits in the daily allowance.

Bacon is good for you.

As long as its in your calories, have what you want!!

Next time you have porridge - put some peanut butter in it!!! I love it - My favourite - Especially crunchy peanut butter!

lmd_1979

I have had it now with a bit of sea salt and rough Black Pepper. Delicious!

Sure, you want to watch the sodium with bacon, but you can eat low sodium foods to balance that out. I would be far more concerned that you're not getting enough protein.

Sounds glorious to me.

Unless you have some serious health problems don't worry about sodium. If you drink enough water you flush it out anyhow. Everything has sodium, even plain chicken breast... don't stress over that at all.

If it fits in your calorie goals great. If it fits in your calorie and macro goals even better! It all depends on your personal goals what those settings would be though. If you were looking for suggestions your diary is closed so they wouldnt be able to offer advice either (good or bad).

I think the topic of this thread would go well with pics from my friends list.

bacon is goooood

in moderation, yes!

As saith above. There is no need for me to repeat. Let go the idea of inherently bad foods, aint no such thing as forbidden foods. Forbidden foods are for those who don't log and need to be in a deficit by accident. For the rest of us, log, balance, EAT.

Why are you worried about what others say? I read the forums all day but I dont always go by what they say. if I feel like I can incorporate it into my life then yea but if some one says oh no you cant eat that for the rest of your life cuz you are "dieting" Im not going to listen. Remember everything in moderation... I had pizza and garlic knots this week, not that often but I still had it

As long as it can fit in your macros and you feel satisfied, eat it.
