Did you know?
Bacon and eggs are a classic old-school breakfast , and for good reason.
Starting your day off with protein helps regulate your blood sugar after your long night’s fast and keeps you full for longer, while the protein helps feed and maintain your lean muscle tissue.
The calories and saturated fat in bacon might give you pause, but indulging in bacon and eggs for breakfast a few times a week can definitely be part of a healthy, hearty diet.
Bacon has a high fat content, but some of the fats are actually the healthy kind, according to Chris Gunnars, BSc. Bacon contains oleic acid, which is the same kind of heart-healthy essential fatty acid found in avocados. It also contains saturated fat and high amounts of sodium, though, so keep your portion sizes to no more than two strips per meal and enjoy it no more than two to three times per week rather than eating bacon every day.
Eggs are high in protein, which helps build and maintain muscle tissue. According to researchers at Tufts University, a diet that includes a breakfast of bacon and eggs and lean sources of protein at lunch and dinner can help prevent the loss of muscle tissue, especially in older people.
