The reason for this is that bacon is cured meat. There are two reasons not to eat raw meat: taste and food safety. Taste is individual, some people are OK with the taste and eat raw meat as long as they can find a source of meat fresh enough (think sashimi, carpaccio, steak tartare). Food safety is not a problem with bacon. The process of turning pork to bacon includes salt and smoke.
A good amount of difference in the calorie content of bacon is based on the other ingredients such as oil, spices, etc added to it while cooking. The calorie content in raw bacon is also different from that in its cooked form. One ounce of raw bacon contains around 128 calories while 4 oz of raw bacon has 512 calories. Cooking bacon increases its calorie content to some extent. One ounce of cooked bacon contains 149-153 calories; two ounce of cooked bacon contains 306 calories while 4 oz of bacon has as many as 602 calories. The calorie content in bacon slices also depends upon the thickness of these slices.
