catfish87 3,471 Posted March 8, 2013 I eat bacon a few times a week. I'm pretty tight now (restriction)and don't have issues if I chew it up properly. 2 ☠carolinagirl☠ and DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted March 8, 2013 There isn't anything you can't eat, however, whether or not it's a wise food choice is another matter completely. I think you'd have to figure out how many calories and how much fat is in it. You may also want to consider it's sodium content too. If after doing this you decide you still want it, just be sure you work it into your daily calorie allowance.

dylanmiles23 2,198 Posted March 8, 2013 I have trouble chewing bacon and pork. I don't eat ham, though. the only pork I eat are spareribs from one Chinese restaurant because they have the world's best! Try and see if they agree. I am from Boston and we are famous for lobster, I can only chew the claws now. Everyone is different. Enjoy the bacon. 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jewelsm1127 351 Posted March 8, 2013 Why not? BK and Denny's have bacon I've cream sundaes! I also eat bacon...almost every day. Breakfast is my most substantial meal. I find as the day goes in the less hungry I get. Also since surgery I love everything salty versus the sweets like I used to. However I don't have a fill so it doesn't affect me at all. But I darn well make sure I count those calories! :-) 1 parisshel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karina150 34 Posted March 8, 2013 Perhaps attempting turkey bacon would be a good option. I know it's not the same but this way it doesn't kill the calorie count for the day. Just a thought. 1 hely88 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dani_nyc 224 Posted March 8, 2013 I love bacon.. 2 pieces of table bacon is approx 70 calories 4 grams of fat and 4 grams of protein.. Some diets like paleo include lots of bacon 1 parisshel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love thick cut smoked bacon but dont want to waste money ordering if I cant eat it anyway. Then I would order ham etc. thanks all for your advice. I myself love bacon, I crave more salty stuff verses the sweets too. I cook a whole package when cool put in a zip lick bag and snack away. Since I have a hard time eating meats I dont feel bad for snacking on this. I had my band done March 2011 and ive lost 109 pounds....hoping for skin surgery soon 2 Terry Poperszky and parisshel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m1aman 944 Posted March 8, 2013 I love center cut bacon but have sworn off of it. Too much fat and sodium for someone who is trying to be healthy. But I make plenty of other mistakes so maybe i should eat some after all. 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2012 359 Posted March 9, 2013 I make it in the microwave (I suck at trying to make it in a skillet ) and it's always crispy and easy to eat. But I eat the turkey bacon, love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
