Calories in Bacon
Why bacon calories change so much between raw and cooked
541 kcal
What makes bacon so powerful?
Cooked bacon is about 540 calories per 100 g, but a slice weighs only about 8 to 10 g once cooked, so a slice is closer to 40 to 50 calories. Fat renders out in the pan and the slice shrinks to a fraction of its raw weight, which is why raw and cooked numbers are so different. Bacon is also high in sodium. Tracking per slice is more realistic than per 100 g.
About 40 to 50 kcal a slice
Cooked slices are very light.
Shrinks when cooked
Raw and cooked entries are not interchangeable.
High in sodium
Cured meat; check the label for the brand.
💡 When & how to use it
Bake on a rack so the fat drips off, and blot with paper towel. Log slices cooked, not raw.
