Cheese or Bacon?

 🧀 Cheddar Cheese (typical hard cheese)


Fat: ~33g


Protein: ~25g


Water: ~37%


Calories: ~400 kcal


Fat % by weight: ~33%



🥓 Pan-Fried Bacon (streaky/pork belly style)


Fat: ~42g


Protein: ~37g


Water: ~10% (after cooking)


Calories: ~550 kcal


Fat % by weight: ~42%



🧮 Fat Ratio Comparison (Per 100g Cooked)


Food Fat (g) Fat % of weight Calories


Bacon ~42g ~42% ~550 kcal

Cheddar ~33g ~33% ~400 kcal


⚖️ Verdict:


> 🔥 Bacon has a higher fat-to-weight ratio than cheese — especially when cooked (as water is reduced, fat becomes more concentrated).



🍽 But! Keep in mind:


Bacon is higher in saturated fat and often contains nitrites/nitrates.


Cheese adds calcium, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and beneficial fermentation compounds (in aged varieties).


Both are keto- and carnivore-friendly but should be balanced based on personal health goals (cholesterol, inflammation, etc.).
