This paragraph is for the more technically minded. Essentially, if one consumes 1,200 calories (4,800 kilojoules) per day, then the maximum amount of saturated fat allowed is 10 grams (0.35ounces). 1,500 calories (6,300 kilojoules) - 13 grams (0.45 ounces). 2,000 calories (8,400 kilojoules) - 20 grams (0.7 ounces).
Bacon is high in saturated fat, which is a harmful type of fat. Saturated fat raises low-density lipoprotein, or LDL cholesterol. High LDL levels increase your risk of clogged arteries and heart disease. According to the Cleveland Clinic, no more than 7 percent of your total caloric intake should come from saturated fat. Based on a 2,000-calorie diet, you can have up to 15 grams of saturated fat per day. Around one-third of the fat in bacon is saturated. Having just one slice of bacon adds a little more than 1 gram of saturated fat to your diet. The remaining 2 grams of fat come from heart-healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, or MUFAs and PUFAs. Even though bacon does provide some good fats, the high saturated fat content makes it an unhealthy food option.
