I'm making green beans tonight and added 3 slices of bacon, plus some of the left-over grease for flavor. I want to count my calories correctly and was was wondering................do the calories on the package include the left-over grease? I probaby should have asked this before I did it, but at least I'm thinking about it now. lol
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I cook pork loins in bacon grease all the time and I've never added the cals on top of he bacon and pork...still doesn't answer your question though...0
-
I don't think it counts the left over grease, because its something that normally wouldn't get eaten when you eat the bacon, but I really don't know for sure.1
-
Usually the information on the label will say something like "Pan fried, drained", so no it does not include the grease.0
-
The package calories include everything there, including the grease.
EDIT: Unless the package says cooked/drained or something like that1 -
a bacon question again...
I was in a bacon conundrum yesterday.
on my bacon pack it gave 2 values for calories - one for raw and one for cooked with a little " * " by the cooked one. in small print at the bottom it stated the cooked value was cooked in a dry frying pan and the fat drained and patted off the meat.
hope that helps0 -

HA! I'm such a dork, went back and looked at the package and sure enough it says pan fried slices. Guess I blew it on this one...........Now the million dollar question, how much grease does the grease have?????0 -

No idea about the bacon but...I cook my green beans in fat free low sodium chicken broth.That gives them a yummy flavor and a lot less fat and calories. Though green beans cooked with bacon is super yummy!!!0

Another bacon thread ...... Here comes the onslaught of horny women and the obsession with bacon. Lol0

The nutritional information of bacon includes EVERYTHING in the package... as if you had eaten it raw. BUT at 30 calories a SLICE (EVEN WITH THE FAT) is it worth worrying about????????0

I don't believe bacon should be in anyone's diet if trying to lose weight. OMIT it completely and mission accomplished:)1

I n cases of weird unknown things, Google is your friend. I have never asked something I couldn't find. I'm guessing it would be listed as some kind of cooking oil.0

Life without bacon is not worth living :noway: track it and be done with it. I wouldn't worry about the grease you added wouldn't have been a huge amount of calories anyway.2 -

This sounds right. No, that fat would be disposed of, so it is NOT counted.0 -
No, I'm sure it doesn't. Add the drippings as lard, because pork grease is what lard is.0

OK.. obviously you are not familiar with the Nutrition Facts labeling requirements. Thank God I am a food scientist and I AM. The nutritional facts on ANY FOOD LABEL (in the US, I won't claim to know international requirements) include EVERYTHING IN THAT FOOD PRODUCT whether cooked/raw/frozen/fresh IT DOESN'T ****ING MATTER. If you peel a slice of bacon out of the package and eat it raw that is what it would contain FAT AND ALL.
CHECK THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS.1 -
