About this food
A dependable, protein-first option, Bacon is the sort of choice that holds its own as a satisfying centerpiece. It is a strong protein pick, helping you stay full and support muscle. It is a nice source of selenium, an antioxidant mineral tied to immune support. The zinc content adds to the appeal, supporting immunity and recovery. Its sodium runs a little higher, which is worth keeping in mind on lower-salt days. It shows up again and again on high-protein menus, and it's easy to see why.
