On a recent TV show, they mentioned that there really wasn’t much difference between turkey bacon and regular bacon. I decided to do a little research and here’s what I found.

They both have 2 grams of protein, 35 calories, 1 gram of Saturated Fat and 3 grams of total fat.
The turkey bacon has 15 mg of cholesterol while the regular bacon on 7.5 mg.
The turkey bacon has 180 mg of sodium, while the regular bacon has 145 mg.

It looks like regular bacon wins out in every category!

I’m wondering why turkey bacon can make the 50% less fat claim?
I notice that it does say when using USDA data – I wonder if that is old data for fatter pigs?
