I had no idea and missed it. But I can you this, it packs a whole lot of good taste!

[BakerAunt]

I missed it. Now I have BLTs on my mind. If the garden gives us tomatoes this year, I may try to sneak in a couple of BLTs.

I thought bacon was only fat and sodium. I had no idea it has protein value, so I missed this.

[skeptic7]

I missed this. I knew bacon should have some protein but had no idea of how much.

[Joan Simpson]

I got it,but it was a lucky guess.

[cwcdesign]

I guessed too but I was wrong. I figured it was all fat with very little protein

[Mike Nolan]

According to the source I used (verywellfit.com), 3 slices of bacon has 12 grams of protein and also 12 grams of fat. I think that's because a lot of the fat melts into the pan.

[RiversideLen]

Could there be some protein in the fat?

[BakerAunt]

So, the next question is how much fat is still in the bacon after it has been cooked, and the fat blotted with a paper towel.

[Mike Nolan]

I think that site considers the bacon after it has been cooked and drained. I know five slices of bacon leaves quite a bit of fat in the pan, perhaps a couple tablespoons.
