Bacon
|
3 medium slices
|
Filled with nitrates, sodium and
fat but also contains a surprising amount of vitamin C. Microwave
to zap fat, then drain well. Paper towels work nicely to blot
out oils.
Though bacon isn't the healthiest
goody on the planet, I certainly don't count it out of my diet.
It's very filling, very low in calories for what it is, and
extremely tasty. Furthermore, a small potato topped with 1
slice of crumbled bacon, some REAL sour cream, a teaspoon of grated
cheese, chives and pepper is quite filling for WELL under 200 calories.

Canadian Bacon
|
2 medium slices
|
Good alternative to standard bacon
but remains hefty in sodium and nitrates. If you are taking
a MAO inhibitor, take care with Canadian Bacon as it sometimes contains
tyramine that can skyrocket blood pressure when mixed with a MAO.

Ham

3 ounces boneless

High sodium content; nitrates.
Individuals on a MAO should consult with doctor before eating
ham as it contains tyramine. Fairly low in calories and fat content.
Cook thoroughly before eating.
