Bacon loin steaks, lean, grilled

Bacon loin steaks are cuts of cured pork. The figures here describe lean steaks cooked by grilling, based on samples of smoked and unsmoked Danish bacon sold loose and prepacked. They mainly provide protein, with some fat and little carbohydrate. Per 100g, they contain 29g of protein, 4.3g of fat, 1.6g of saturated fat and 2.5g of salt.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. These steaks also provide thiamin, which helps the body release energy from food and supports normal nervous system function. Bacon is a processed meat, and its salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
