Cooked bacon strips — saturated-fat-heavy cured pork.
~45 kcal per strip. Sodium-heavy. Not the protein source it appears — fat dominates.
Best for
- calorie-dense add-ons — 42g fat / 100g adds up fast
- people who struggle to hit calories on low-fat food only
Watch out
- tablespoon blindness — eyeballing oils and nut butters wrecks logs
- stacking multiple fat sources in one meal without noticing
How to log it
Use a spoon scale or package grams. 1 strip (~8g) is the practical unit in the app. A “drizzle” is still food.
Where it fits the day
Use as a controlled add-on, not the free condiment zone. One measured serving beats three “light” pours.
