i have found (by accident really) a pack of bacon that contains 53 calories per rasher. I think that is fantastic so i have now incorporated that into my morning breakfast. 2 x hard boiled eggs (140 cals) 1 x rasher of bacon (53 cals) and a slice of toast (96 cals)
My protein levels are higher but within levels and i dont feel the need to snack out as much so all in all very pleased.
Do you guys have bacon and eggs for breakfast??

I don't have bacon and eggs for breakfast but it's just because I'm rarely hungry in the mornings and I don't like eggs or bacon very much.0

Research shows that your body needs at least 250 calorie breakfast to kick start your metabolism which is why they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Ill have to see how well my bacon and eggs works but so far im very happyI don't have bacon and eggs for breakfast but it's just because I'm rarely hungry in the mornings and I don't like eggs or bacon very much.0 -
I love bacon and eggs, but when I have it it's for lunch or dinner. :laugh: I love me some bacon though...it's my fav!0

Im just amazed that 1 slice of toast, 2 hard boiled eggs and a rashed of bacon comes in just under 300 calories which is fantastic. Yesterday i had the same for lunch and then a jacket potato with beans for tea and felt full all day0

Only problem with Bacon is the Nitrites and the Nitrates...Neither being any good for you atall..
Although the above comment doesn`t stop me from eating them now and again...0 -
I usually have eggs and bacon for breakfast. It keeps me full for so long. I also don't eat bread or cereal, so my choices are limited unless I eat dinner leftovers.
Bacon makes everything better

Yeah, that's a quality, filling meal for under 300 calories! I eat Farmland low sodium bacon and have 2 slices for 80 calories and I thought that was great, lol. You have me beat!0 -
I've had bacon and eggs for breakfast the last two days. Its full of protein, and DELICIOUS!0

What is a "rasher" and what kind of bacon did you find?0

This is actually untrue. Your metabolism doesn't need to be "kickstarted" in the morning It runs 24/7.
As for bacon, every day. 2-3 eggs, 2 slices of bacon (Oscar Mayer Center Cut Thick Sliced, 40 calories a slice,) 2 oz of turkey, and either a bowl of Grape Nuts or a couple slices of toast. I aim for an 800 calorie breakfast to fuel up for my workout.What is a "rasher" and what kind of bacon did you find?
A rasher is the culinary term for a slice of bacon.0 -

your metabolism slows down throughout the night ( or so i believe) which is why we can go 6-8 hours eithout eating thus needing a boost (kickstart) with a decent calorific breakfast.0 -

We may be talking about two different kinds of bacon. I believe that bacon in the UK is different from what we have in the states. I'm just guessing that the original poster is British since he said "rasher". In the US we eat streaky bacon, the UK usually has back bacon, I think. I could be wrong.0

That has been scientifically debunked. The metabolism runs at a constant base rate 24/7. The changes occur based on movement patterns. It takes approximately 72 hours (3 days) of complete fasting before your metabolism starts to slow down and conserve energy.0 -

^^This. Or approx. 4 to 6 weeks of extreme calorie deficit, like 1200 calories a day with exercise, and not eating back your exercise calories.0 -

Other than my shower and walking to and from my car, I spend 9-10 hours after waking sitting, either in a car or at a desk. My metabolism doesn't need a kick start in the morning.0 -
Nevermind, Got my answer...lol0

At least 250 calories? I'll have to remember that. I eat breakfast every morning but it's usually small. I love eggs and bacon. I thought about finding some low sodium bacon to make my own breakfast sandwiches. My days always went better when I made a homemade mcmuffin.0 -
I have one egg and two strips of bacon 5 days a week. I feel fuller as well and I am enjoying it!! Keep up the great work!0

Unless someone posts links to acceptable places, NEVER take what you see here referred to as "research". I do research part time and am amazed at the way people will let those words sway them...."research shows" means crap. Its no better than "they said". Just a FYI for the ppl that live and die by MFP message boards.0

Only TURKEY bacon for me................the pig is a nasty animal! BLAH not to start a pork thing but........0

Bacon is amazing in just about everything and adds deliciousness to otherwise boring health food. Spinach salad? Boring. Spinach salad with bacon? Yum.0
-
I do the turkey bacon but not every morning. I switch it up between oatmeal, cereal and other things.
I never really liked bacon until I started keeping track of calories a few years back and found out that breakfast sausage had way more calories than bacon. I figured they were about the same.0 -

You are right.. A rash is one piece of bacon (back bacon as you say) I too am guessing the OP is British or lives in the UK at least. I have Oscar Mayer 'American Style Bacon' ie streaky bacon 3 times a week. My husband has the back bacon with the excess fat cut off (Sainsburys be good to yourself brand).0 -

Turkey should never get rights to be called "bacon"0 -
I LOVE BACON!!!! I love it, love it, love it!
Sorry, I had to mention that. But yep, I'll do eggs and bacon (along with a couple other things) for breakfast. I just LOVE bacon!0
