Ever had breakfast with bacon? If you have, you already know how bad that can be for you. But, is bacon really that bad for you? The short answer is yes, bacon is bad for you, but not all bacon is the same.
Bacon and Heart Disease
An abundance of processed meats are linked to higher risk of heart disease. Bacon is particularly harmful. One 2014 study found that people who consumed three or more slices of bacon a week had about a 33 percent higher risk of heart disease. This increased risk of heart disease is linked to the saturated fat and cholesterol in bacon. However, this doesn’t mean that bacon has no benefits. In fact, some studies show that eating one serving of bacon a day is linked to lower risk of heart disease.
Bacon and Diabetes
There are many benefits to eating bacon, including improving cognitive function and reducing the risk of heart disease. However, eating too much bacon can cause some negative effects. One of the biggest health risks with bacon is that it can cause insulin resistance. The way that insulin works is that it causes cells to absorb glucose from the blood. This process of insulin increasing the blood glucose level is called insulin resistance. Glucose is the main source of energy that our bodies use.
Calorie Content of Bacon
Bacon is a type of meat that is made from the pig’s bacon. Bacon is usually cured, but some types of bacon are raw and uncured. Pork bacon is the most common type of bacon. Other types include pork belly, pancetta, and country bacon. Pork bacon typically has about 240 calories per 100 grams. Bacon also typically has a higher fat content than other types of meat. A 100 grams serving of bacon will typically have about 5 grams of fat. Bacon is considered to be a medium-fat meat and high in calories. Bacon is also considered a high-calorie meat. This means that the meat is higher in calories than other types of meats, such as chicken or fish. A 100 grams serving of bacon will typically have about 240 calories.
Calculating Calories in Bacon
While bacon has many health benefits, it’s also high in calories. A pound of bacon has about 310 calories. For a basic pound of bacon, you would need to add four pieces of bacon to your diet to reach the amount of calories in a pound. Some bacon is leaner than others, but you’d be better off opting for a leaner cut of bacon. You can also opt for a variety of lower-calorie bacon cuts and different types of bacon. For example, you can get thick-cut bacon or country-style bacon, which is lower in fat.
Bacon and Calorie Consumption
A study in American men found that participants who ate bacon every day had higher body mass index (BMI) than those who did not eat bacon. This could indicate that the type of fat in bacon is linked to weight gain. There’s not enough research to indicate the impact of bacon on our health. There is a positive relationship between the number of calories and BMI. People who eat more calories are likely to have a higher BMI than people who eat fewer calories. However, there’s little evidence to indicate that the type of fat in bacon is related to weight gain.
