    I don't like cereal , so am very limited in quick breakfast choices. I find two eggs sets me up well for the day. I have started getting bacon sometimes to mix things up. My only worry with the bacon is salt. Today I had a mini protien bar, two peices of toast , with vegiemite. Actually filled me up too .

    Yep, I eat eggs and often bacon for breakfast. Still losing, not unhealthy.

    Eggs and bacon are one of my favorite meals. I'll have it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I've lost weight eating them, and just had my blood work done...everything is great. Your friend is doing just fine, and probably a lot happier than the people suffering on egg whites and fake bacon :)

    As long as he isn't eating a plate of bacon I don't see any harm in his breakfast. It's better than eating sugary cereal or even worse, skipping breakfast.

    I have a friend of mine who has been lifting weights with me since September and lately says he wants to lose weight. He continues to lift every day but with very little cardio involved in his workout. A few weeks ago he told me he's excited for his "bacon and eggs". I guess he makes himself eggs (not egg whites) and bacon every morning and sometimes switches it up and makes sausage instead of bacon. I am not sure what the rest of this meals consist of but with little cardio involved and more lifting than anything, will my friend lose weight? Or lose it as quickly as he would like? Should I offer any advice or just let him do his own thing if he's "enjoying" it and has continued to stick with it?

    I lost about 55 lbs doing exactly that, and I'm a 40 something female with metabolic issues (PCOS). You have to track your calories, of course.

    Different things work for different people. I personally don't believe that a simple calorie deficit works for everyone. Many act like it does because it works for THEM. It is sort of funny. But, unless your advice is solicited...don't tell your buddy what to do. No one likes that..and he very well may lose eating what he enjoys. Let him figure it out..he obviously has a great fitness routine going and he'll work on the diet part if he doesn't lose.

    Bacon and eggs is healthy! Both have healthy fats and protein. Even the yolk is good! Two years ago I was a senior in high school, weighing 130. Two months before spring break I went on a diet, I had an egg, 2 pieces of bacon, and some ww toast for breakfast. I lost 15 pounds! So bacon and eggs = healthy delicious nutrients!

    I eat bacon and eggs almost every morning. Tons of protein! Plus it keeps you feeling full longer.

    3 eggs for breakfast every day and I'm losing - none of this 'whites only' rubbish.

    I tried talking to my chickens to see if they would lay white-only eggs, but they were having none of it. :grumble:

    This. Is. Awesome. :bigsmile:

    Just double-checked my blood test results...cholesterol was 136, and all other levels were within normal range...

    Pass the damn bacon...

    I eat six whole eggs (I don't do the eggwhite thing) nearly every day. I am losing weight. If it fits his macros and calorie goals, then yes he will lose weight/fat.

    As long as he isn't eating a plate of bacon I don't see any harm in his breakfast. It's better than eating sugary cereal or even worse, skipping breakfast.

    I do a slightly leaner version of his breakfast: two eggs, 1 oz of 2% cheese and 1-2 oz of lean ham. I occasionally do Jenny O Turkey links, but it really cuts into my calorie allowance so I will swap my eggs for egg whites if I indulge in the turkey sausage.

    Lol wut?

    I skip breakfast and lunch every day and I'm doing just fine.
