I never thought id say that, but bqcon is not worth it. Too many calories. Im on a low calorie diet and 4 pieces of bacon has nearly 500 calories. Thats not enough food for that much of my daily allowance.

    Yeah, the key is to stick with low calorie but high in protein foods, such as chicken or beef. That doesn't mean you can never eat bacon tho!

    I eat this one, 2 rashers = 96 calories grilled not fried. Maybe look around a bit more at different types, cut fat off etc?
    Typically most rashers seem to be 200cals per 100g, depends on thickness of rasher.

    I just used mfp and picked bacon. I will have to look at the package as i love bacon so much. But no mouth pleasure is greater than my goals.

    use the app to scan your particular packet
    i can usually fit in 2 rashers of bacon
    i cant imagine a life without a toasted cheese and bacon sandwich.

    Have you ever heard about rice paper bacon? It sounds a bit weird but the vegan community raves about it. Maybe it's worth a try?

    I was about to recommend rice paper bacon, it looks so good! I've bought all the ingredients, I just can't find the rice paper, I'm going to check a Vietnamese grocery store tomorrow. If it tastes half as good as it looks I'll share the recipe :)

    Think you have picked a bad database entry - four rashers of the bacon I ate yesterday would be 240 calories.
