If it were me I would test fry up a couple of slices of bacon and measure the rendered fat. I would not log it as actually eating the bacon if I wasn't eating the bacon. There's about 39 calories in a tsp of bacon grease.0

Because it gets soggy from the water I add. Ewww!0 -
To clarify. I love bacon. I don't eat this because I add water to steam the collards which makes the bacon soggy. Gross. Lol0

Fry bacon to render grease. Remove bacon leaving grease in pan. Add greens and water continue as usual. When done sprinkle greens with reserved chopped bacon. Enjoy.snowflake930 wrote: »Eat the bacon. Moderation in all foods.
Early on, I tried the turkey bacon. IMHO it should not be called bacon. Horrible stuff, and you save very little calories with the turkey, definitely not worthy.
My husband is on a turkey bacon kick right now. I'll cook it for him, but I refuse to eat it. It looks wrong. It smells wrong and it absolutely tastes wrong. Therefore, turkey bacon is wrong.0 -

Turkey bacon has this weird astringent chemical taste to me. No thanks. No way.

Omg. Eat the bacon!! I could not live without bacon. Awesome source of protein and fat! And soooooo delicious.0

Since you're logging it, eat it too. Just render your bacon first and remove it from the pan before adding your greens/water. Then you can add the crispy bacon after the greens are done cooking, on your plate, and soon to be in your belly. WITH delicious bacon.
I get what you mean about soggy bacon and not wanting to eat it.0 -
I batch cook bacon in the oven, and store the grease. There is an entry something like USDA Bacon, Baked that I use for the actual bacon. If I just want the grease for something I can add that separately. It is only slightly more calories than butter.0
