yes, but bacon is nothing BUT fat. My rule of thumb has been to eat what I wanted but only a small portion. I let my fat content get the best of me. And my carb intake is out of control, too, hence the sugar cravings.

For the most part, high protein diets don't have a problem with fat consumption (in fact the diet--Zone, I think--recommended by Crossfit suggests 40% protein, 40% fat and 20% carb).

Body fat buildup usually comes from too much carb...not too much dietary fat.

And of course, exercise offsets a multitude of dietary sins.

Thanks. But, once in awhile bacon is soooo good. I don’t take kindly to carbs either but thankfully I don’t crave them very often.
