    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 happy

    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.

    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.

    Bacon is amazing in just about everything and adds deliciousness to otherwise boring health food. Spinach salad? Boring. Spinach salad with bacon? Yum.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    Oh, you just started a pork thing. Pork is the most delicious food on earth. Turkey bacon ain't bacon it's at best turkey ham.

    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.

    To us Brits....bacon is the key to a good hearty but very unhealthy fried breakfast- You cant have a slap up hangover cureing grease dripping breakfast without bacon.

    I have tried turkey bacon and to me it resembles bland cardboard

    The pig is the holy grail to bacon

    I eat bacon a couple times a week. I also eat 5 egg whites and 1 whole egg for breakfast, no breads! Eating the egg whites only, saves like 600 cholestrol, 22 fat, and 250 calories, so I can have more to eat in the morning.

    Ive lost 20 lbs in 30 days. Im sure my eating habits are not for everyone, but i eat three meals a day at about 300 calories each, I am not hungry during the day. I dont eat carbs or sugar unless it is in the food naturally, like veges.

    I have converted to Butterball Thin and Crispy Turkey Bacon. Only 30 calories for two slices. It takes some getting used to but now I think it's delicious!
