Question

In an effort to lower her saturated fat intake, Natasha decided to make her breakfast sandwich at home. Instead of the high-fat sausage, she chooses 4 slices of organic sugar-free turkey bacon. Looking at the Nutrition Facts label, evaluate the nutrients, and explain if replacing sausage with 4 slices of turkey bacon would be a good choice for her or not. If it is a poor choice, what would be a good alternative?

Answer 1

Answer: "Your question seems to be missing crucial information but we still tried to answer it as best as we could.

Replacing sausage with 4 slices of turkey bacon would be a good choice. This is because 100 grams of sausage contains 268 calories, 18 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fats, and 27 grams of protein. Whereas a single slice of organic turkey bacon contains 45 calories which means 4 slices will contain 180 calories which is comparatively less than sausages. Four slices of bacon contain total saturated fat of 2 grams since a single slice contains 0.5 grams of saturated fat which is less than that of sausages. Since four slices of turkey bacon have less saturated fat it is a better option. Furthermore, compared to turkey bacon, sausages have lower levels of selenium, phosphorus, vitamin B12, and vitamin B2. Turkey bacon provides 29 percent more Selenium than sausage does for a daily need. Turkey bacon has three times as much calcium as sausage. Therefore, substituting sausage with turkey bacon is good for health.

As we said, we’re still missing (nutrition fact label data is missing), so it might be good for you to resubmit your question and we’d be happy to try again!"
