Three slices per day. But sometimes I use bacon fat to sautƩ in.
You Bacon MeCrazy- how much bacon do you eat?

Right on, Marie. 
I got a pound of āBacon Endsā at Trader Joeās and ate it in one day - cooked it all but couldnāt quite get through it right away; had to wait about an hour.
Slab bacon. Havenāt had it yet but Restaurant Depot has hickory-smoked rindless slabs for $3.59/$3.41 per pound, depending on how much you buy. I can see slicing it really thick.

āGnarlyā bacon ends.
I work āon the roadā most of the time, and eat hotel ācontinental breakfastsā (which is a buffet breakfast in the U.S.) often. So tired of sausage patties - have had more than enough for 3 lifetimes. Sausage links can be good or badā¦ Bacon is the best. Sometimes itās almost paper thin, other times itās actually pretty good. Iāve had it be too crisp, but never too undercooked.
You usually get scrambled eggs, too. I load one half of a plate with the eggs, and the other half with bacon. Might be 10 strips if itās fairly thick and not too crispy, or it might be 40 if itās so thin and crisp that itās almost imaginary.

After being vegetarian for 30 years to be able to eat bacon was fantastic! I have now been doing keto for 1 year 3 months and eat bacon:
- 2 per day
- 15 per week - 3 on Sunday
- That would be about 60 per month - rashers that is.

Around a pound every other week; sometimes less (fasting), sometimes more (if I have time to cook real breakfasts more often).

Bacon and eggs every day for breakfast. 2 or 3 slices of bacon, fry some chopped onions and jalapenos in the bacon fat for flavor, stir up 3 eggs with some cream and pour it into the pan and, when the whole thing is done, drop some grated cheese on top.
We get our bacon at the local butcher shop - they can slice it a bit thicker. He makes his own double smoked bacon which is excellent.
Unless I am away from home, this has been my breakfast every day for the past year and a half. Since starting Keto, I am rarely hungry so may not eat breakfast until well after noon.

I do it in the oven so itās not all over the stove top. But it still smells up the house.

I actually make my own. I usually buy a 10lb slab at Costco and then rub it down with some Coarse Kosher Salt, Black pepper and Golden Monkfruit and then vacuum seal it and let it cure for a week. Then I smoke it low and slow at 200 with Applewood for 3-4 hours until it comes to temp (160) and then Iāll sloce it all up and cook it as desired. I especially love melting some coconut oil and 100% Cacao with some Erythritol and making chocolate covered bacon. Mmmmm

With a meal, I like around six thick cut slices. If my daughter is sat nearby, Iām lucky if I get about half of those slices, though.

Between 1/2 and 1 pound a week. I like eggs and bacon for breakfast, so I tend to have that or some variant of it about 5 days a week. 2 or 3 strips of bacon.

My daughter and I go through about 5# every 9 days. Bacon is our go-to snack of choice! We buy Applewood Smoked Bacon from the local supermarket in a prewrapped 5# package. Question: We cook the bacon in the oven and it makes a total greasy mess of the oven. Is there any way to oven cook bacon without making a greasy mess?

I eat only one breakfast per week, Sunday morning, usually early because I donāt eat anything on Saturday. So, bacon and eggs, 3-4 strips, per week.
