Bacon Calories - It is not like what you think!

You know bacon, it’s really small! Why to think there are many bacon calories and fat in it, when it’s lean meat? Unlike the red meat, it includes less bacon calories and way less fat. My weight loss plan I am following from, Carb Rotation Diet, taught me to remove this stereotype that lots of us have, meat equals fat.

Quoted from Carb Rotation Diet, that in order to maintain a good diet plan, you need to eat low-calorie food such as bacon calories that will boost your energy without increasing your cholesterol level, and will give you a perfect amount of nutrition to maintain or increase your metabolism.

Why Bacon Calories in Your Diet Plan?

Actually, if you will ask a dietarian about the bacon calories and nutrition facts, they’ll give you a positive answer. “FYI”, bacon is considered to be not only a good part of a healthy diet plan, but also a good way to not feel deprived of meat.

So you need to know how to decrease your bacon calories. The list of bacon calories below gives you a good fact about them. This tip below will also help you get over “too much” of them.

As I was advised from Carb Rotation Diet, to exercise specially after eating meat calories. This will help you to burn most of the fat you stored in your body from the bacon calories.

Which Bacon and how much bacon calories?

Your Big Question is how much bacon calories you will gain from this slice. One bacon thin slice weighs normally 12 grams, and one bacon thick slice is usually between 35 to 38 grams. As for your diet, it depends if you are on a very strict one. If yes, then the bacon calories should be equal to a tablespoon of bacon bits.

Beef Calories

Beef Calories - on control!

The most important thing about diet is not to avoid the food that you like, but to go through it. Such as beef calories, who said I should avoid it? although it provides extreme amounts of fat and cholesterol.

As I learned from my diet plan, Carb Rotation Diet, the weight loss facts; that low fat foods, low calorie diets, low carb diet plans, do not work. You only need to think how to lose 2-3 pounds per week, without affecting your health and body structure.

Don’t let Beef Calories affect you, you affect them!

What you need to do to make the beef calories ”calories-less” is to take a small size portion of lean meat beef, drain thoroughly, you can also cook in the microwave or the oven to extinguish the fat. Don’t forget about the sauces, braise with fat sauces and glazes.

To offset the rest of fat, make sure to stew vegetables high in fiber and boiled potatoes. Most important, don’t cook in oil, or make giblet gravy and fried potatoes, which of course add calories to your list.

The Beef Calories Cooking Inquiry!

It is important to know the degree of temperatures to cook the beef, it is also important to know which part of beef you want to cook. I would recommend the loin and rib for dry cooking, as it is tenderer than other parts where the cow has more muscles (tough meat).

The importance of the cooking temperature is when it has juicier and contains more blood; it will have more beef calories. It is recommended that you cook it as Medium rare, medium or medium well.

• Medium Rare: Is cooking in temperatures of 130 - 140°F (54 - 60°C) makes the beef juicy in the center.
• Medium: Is cooking in temperatures of 140 - 150°F (60 - 66°C) makes it less juicy.
• Medium well: Is cooking in temperatures of 150 - 160°F (66 - 71°C) which will result a thin line of pink in the center.

Chicken Calories - I already got rid of the Meat!

In fact, I really got rid of the meat, since the amount of chicken calories is the lowest in all the “meat” family. Despite this, my diet confused me, I wanted to know numbers of chicken calories and fat, I wanted to know how to eat them and with what!

It was a bit confusing, so I took the extra mile to start taking all the queries together. Since I do not have time to go to ongoing dietarians’ appointments, I asked for professional programs I should go to online, since there are lots of programs.

As advised and now experienced, I went on this program called, Carb Rotation Diet. Well, these dietarians did help, since I got a perfect program that matches my chicken calories queries, I lost 7 pounds in the first two weeks.

Chicken Calories in one program with recipes!

The solution of my queries was that simple. First of all, I knew that no matter what, chicken calories without the chicken skin are less 5 times than chicken calories with the skin, “FYI” most of these skin chicken calories come from fat.

In addition to this important fact, you should know how to cook the chicken so it will be with less chicken calories. Below is an explanation about it with 100 gr. of raw chicken (skinless and boneless):

• Stewed Chicken: 151 chicken calories.
• Roasted Chicken: 165 chicken calories.
• Fried Chicken: 187 chicken calories.

The way you eat it is also important, since chicken calories are not the only calories you will have in the meal. So, for me I like Stewed Chicken with broccoli, you can find many diet recipes about it.

Roasted Chicken, well Carb Rotation Diet, taught me that skinless chicken calories are less for sure than skin chicken calories. Make sure to put it skinless and with vegetables.

Well, actually I have nothing to say about the Fried Chicken Calories, I wouldn’t prefer it anyway for my diet. However, if you had some inquires about it, write down in the comments. As soon as I see it, I will respond to you.

Sandwich Calories

Sandwich Calories - Better in Breakfast or in Dinner?

As I used to organize my daily diet list, I was always confused how much I should eat as a fast meal (Sandwich Calories). Well, once I started my diet I had some priorities; to control the number of calories i eat, to minimize the feeling of hunger and to find a way to maintain a healthy weight for a long time (the rest of my life).

Frankly, I couldn’t find a diet plan that matches my needs. For instance, I really needed to figure out how much sandwich calories I should eat as a small portion. In addition, which extras I need to put in order to make a sandwich calories-less.

The solution of my self-conflict about the sandwich calories!

First of all, I joined a great diet plan called Carb Rotation Diet that taught me which ingredients in food I need to avoid, like extra ingredients which increases the sandwich calories, simple ways to plan meals I love to eat, without having that much sandwich calories, and many strategies for buying the right foods for fat loss.

Following the said above, I figured out that I need to get rid of this thought of Diet that difficult to sustain and leave me cranky, hungry all day long. The good thing I learned from Carb Rotation Diet, which I think all of us should know, that diets that focus only on a few foods, are not realistic and will not last long.

The people who are looking for the real diet, the honest one, I strongly advise that you go ahead on this one: Carb Rotation Diet.

The Perfect count for sandwich calories!

Well, how to make a sandwich calories-less, diet sandwich. First of all, you need to know what your limit is and to know much sandwich calories there are.

As I was advised from Carb Rotation Diet, I can have up to 300 sandwich calories. As follows you need good sandwich calories. So, as a good base it is recommended to use a good quality of whole wheat bread (80 calories in sandwich per slice), only lean meat, and if you want cheese, choose the low fat one such as skimmed mozzarella (60 sandwich calories per slice).

Of course now the vegetables, which you can add any variety of lettuce, tomato, sliced bell pepper, pickles, thinly sliced cucumber, thinly sliced radish, thinly sliced carrot. On top of all that spread either light Mayo or mustard. Probably you would think like I did, lots of sandwich calories! No way, it is only 225 sandwich calories.

Oh, by the way if you want to know more about Sandwich Bread Calories, check out this blog I found that presents various lists of food calories, Bread Calories.
