Wiki gives a value of 66 Calories per slice, Fitbit only 35. But then, on the same page, a serving of 13 grams of cooked bacon provides those same values - 70 Calories total, 50 from fat. That’s not unreasonable for very thin, short slices. On another Fitbit page, you learn that a serving of 2 slices of cooked bacon contains 70 Calories, with 50 of these coming from fat. One page you get if you Google “Fitbit bacon calories” claims that 1 slice of thick bacon, fried, provides 42 Calories, none of these from fat! But it then gives a value of 29 grams of fat, which would contain about 260 Calories. The “Fitbit” site gives very confusing information. That doesn’t help much, because it doesn’t tell us how big the slice was to begin with - was it thin cut or thick? According to the Wiki, one rasher (slice) of bacon, cooked to “streaky” appearance, weighs 20 grams, provides 66 Calories, and 73% of these calories are from fat. ‑- Begin with Wikipedia, which is often my first stop for information. The internet has a baffling variety of answers to the question of how many calories are in bacon. What does the internet say about the calories in bacon? But even a good ballpark figure is not easy to come by. The more it’s fried, the more calories are shed. I don’t think anybody eats it raw, but beyond that, preferences may vary, from softly fatty to shatteringly crisp. It depends on the source of the bacon (pig, yes, but how chubby a porker?). Of course, there is no exact answer to the question of side bacon’s calorie content. And being analytically compulsive, I’m curious - how many calories does it contain? In particular, “side bacon”, the kind most people eat (even Canadians eat mostly side bacon). As an unreconstructed omnivore (I’m trying, vegans, I’m trying) I too eat bacon on occasion. According to the website Statista, in 2018 more than 80% of Americans said that they eat it, and 18% say they don’t (1.8% aren’t sure say what?). More than like milk, or country and western music, or Donald Trump. Or regularly undertake activities such as heavy gardening, heavy DIY work.Many people like bacon.
