So, I made some bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers last night. Each wrapped in 2 slices of bacon. After baking, each one had a good amount of fat under it in the muffin pan. Might not be significant if I only had one, ...but I had 5.
Do I measure the fat that dripped off and subtract that from the bacon calories? Looks like each one had about 1-1.5 tsp of fat drippings.
I apologize if this is a super dumb question...

    Frequently bacon calorie info is stated as cooked (such as 2 pan fried slices/30g) or something like that. In that case just weigh the cooked bacon and move on, since it accounts for the fat rendered off.

    Now if you use the bacon drippings for a delicious hot dressing, log that separately.

    Dammit. You're right. Somehow I missed that. So now I gotta add some calories when I use the drippings!@#!@#!@#!@#!
