"Bacon Breakdown"
DYK? One pound of bacon has roughly...
- 2500 total calories
- 261 grams of total fat (equals the amount in 10 Big Mac Sandwiches)
- 96 grams of "bad" saturated fat
- 310 mg of cholesterol
- 39 grams of protein (equals the amount in a 5 to 6 oz. hamburger)
- 1 gram of carbohydrate
Rather than bacon as a side dish to your eggs, try adding energy-rich whole wheat toast, fresh fruit or fruit salad, or a bowl of your favorite cereal. These side dishes will help fuel the muscles during exercise. The bacon is more likely to "fuel your waistline".
