⚖️ 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.).
