Plant-based bacon has 11.7 g protein but 29.5 g fat per 100 g. At 309 calories, it is one of the most calorie-dense PBMAs – the fat content is comparable to regular bacon (~42 g). The smoky flavor comes from liquid smoke and spices, not actual curing.
How should I track Plant-Based Bacon?
Plant-Based Bacon is a good source of iron. Plant-based foods like Plant-Based Bacon often come with variable water content, so weighing after draining or pressing gives you the most accurate count. Tofu blocks, for example, can vary by 30% in weight depending on how much liquid they hold. A meta-analysis of 43 RCTs (Reid-McCann et al., Nutr Rev 2025) found that soy protein matches dairy protein for muscle outcomes, so the tracking precision matters just as much as with animal sources. Also watch for marinated or flavored versions — sauces add calories that are easy to miss.
