Frying Bread in the Bacon Fat

daisyelaine

I think the poster questioning it is wondering why ON EARTH you would do that to your body, especially if you are trying to be somewhat healthy. Honestly, I'm with her. The thought of it pretty much makes me gag. Even if it tasted good, I know within an hour or so, my stomach wou

Things I recently discovered with high calories, a Mcdonalds bagel sandwich, a Philly cheesesteak, home made burritos, chocolate. This was 459 Calories, two panacakes at Ihop is 500 + the syrup.

I'm in this to make my lifestyle healthIER not live on fruits and nuts, so having this on a Saturday morning is a treat rather than the candy IMHO is a good way to go.

I'm not saying this is Healthy, I'm just saying zero added fat isn't as bad as a lot of processed things.

It is each to their own.

Oh yeah, I'm all about healthy fats-- they will certainly fill you up more and all, and are WAY better than the processed stuff you can live off out there that have tons of chemicals and healthy claims. And, you're right-- once in a while, live it up! It's the only way to make a sustainable lifestyle change and not go crazy with restrictions. I know that for me though, I love me some good avocado, and some other goodies, but I'm still not dipping anything in bacon fat! Lol.. It's probably more of a taste thing though-- I'm not a bacon fan either, which already puts me in a minority group!

As you say, to each his/her own!

All Countries have a traditional meals, a full English just happens to be one of Britain's & it's something your body gets accustomed to. Just like pizza (1/2 a large 900+ cals), Chinese food (lol! 1500+) & Super Size your fries & pop with that burger etc. no one eats those everyday either. (well maybe some do!) :laugh: Even a fast food salad can be 400 cals!

The OP's original question was approx calorie content, not whether it was healthy.

Exactly.

I made bacon this morning and the calorie information was for "one pan fried slice" so in a case like that I would count the extra fat separately.

Personally I would not add any extra fat calories for the bread - it's already counted in the bacon. I wouldn't worry too much about the other thing. You could try to estimate the volume of fat left behind and take off calories, but it's all just an estimation anyway. I would just go with whatever value you already have for the bacon and not overthink it!

Love fried bread, not had it for years!

BINGO!

Just to be sure, don't change everything at all. Anyway we always tend to underestimate our calorie intake.

Try it and see, it is good, the trick is to make the center soft and the outside crispy
