    I do my family a mixed grill every week, with bacon, sausage, egg and beans, it's just that bacon is really high in fat, as are the sausages, any ideas for a healthier option that I can eat with the family?
    :noway:

    I actually think bacon and sausage are fairly healthy. I consume an entire package of bacon almost every night, sometimes dipping it in real butter, too. My food diary bears this out.

    Many people are fat-phobic with the idea that fat in the food automatically becomes stored fat in the body, which, upon closer inspection, is like arguing that tomatoes cause one's skin to become colored red (Dr. Richard Bernstein's analogy, not mine, from his book "Diabetes Solution").

    Woah woah....you dip it in butter? I mean, I love bacon and I love butter, but I don't understand this.

    Use meat-free versions of the bacon & sausages - for example, Quorn - very low in fat & high in protein. & use less oil when frying.

    There is no substitute for bacon. That idea is just so wrong.

    But there is SOOOOO much 'stuff' in those. Soy and fillers and gums, etc. I like the taste but I don't like an ingredient list that covers 1/3 of the box.

    GO bacon!

    either i have to live with 1/2 the bacon (say 2 slices instead of 4) or go with turkey bacon, ham..or even a bacon and cheese omelette to get some bacon with too much. i just won't put 360 calories of bacon into my body for breakfast anymore (don't get me wrong..love bacon..could eat a pack at a sitting)

    Turkey bacon is a scam - more processed and has higher sodium without saving a ton of calories. Go with regular bacon (also, it's the bestest foods ever). A lot of the fat is cooked out of the bacon when it's done properly so it's only about 30 cals a strip. I say go for it. Eat what you want, just moderate your portions :)

    the replacement for bacon is less bacon... really 2 slices is only 70-100 cals and totally worth it.. turkey bacon is just as high in cals and is super processed and not nearly as amazingly good..

    why dont you bring some veggies to grill? bell peppers,asparagus,eggplant,zuchini,ect.. all super yummy when grilled..

    There is no replacement for bacon, no matter how much processing is done to try to make the imposters taste the same. BUT...as far as sausage patties go, the Morningstar Farms Veggie sausage patties are really good!

    I call BS. A good quality turkey bacon is darn near identical to normal bacon. Even when I wasn't dieting a lot of times I'd buy turkey bacon instead. It's delicious.

    I respectfully disagree. I've tried several different brands. They smell like bacon, but the taste was not pleasant to me. Lots of people like it, but not me! Blech!

    I disagree as well... never have I ever eaten turkey bacon that tasted like pork. Ever. It just makes me mad.
