Lysha Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I am looking for more ways to incorporate fat in my meals. I don't eat pork, but will turkey bacon satisfy the same needs for fat that traditional bacon would? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted May 15, 2017 Administrators Share Posted May 15, 2017 Hard to say, really, you'd have to experiment with it and see how your satiety is 3, 4, 5 hours after meals. Why are you going towards turkey bacon instead of better fat sources? Avocado/guac, coconut products, ghee, olive oil, homemade mayo, occasional nuts, olives, tallow/schmaltz, etc?

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted May 15, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 15, 2017 A quick search on google shows that there's almost twice as much fat in pork bacon as there is in turkey bacon. I'm sure there are differences between brands, but it's just not going to be as fatty. In addition to what LadyShanny mentioned, you could look into making sauces to pour over your foods or to dip them in. Pesto, chimichurri, hollandaise, sunshine sauce, tahini sauce, ranch dressing -- they'll add fat, and they can help change up the flavors in your food so you don't end up bored.

laura_juggles Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Turkey bacon is generally much more lean than pork bacon, so it would be closer to a protein source assuming you could find compliant turkey bacon in the first place (I never did).
