Food/Drink Do you think eating chicharonnes with eggs is pretty healthy?

It's just dried up fried pork. It's not processed meat like sausage or ham so doesn't have all the extra chemicals and additives. Is eating this often, as in multiple times a week for breakfast fine in your opinion?
 
You doing keto? How many grams of fat are you aiming for per day? Are you chasing that high fat meal with some shitty juice concentrate or coffee with a ton of sugar in it? Are you in a caloric surplus, deficit, or just maintaining?

Pretty much zero context to work with here.

Not on keto or any specific type of diet really. Mostly I just try to balance protein, fat, carbs and make sure I'm getting nutrients from fruits and veggies as well. I try to eat only real foods and limit things that are processed or junk, seed oils, stuff like that. Just wondering if there's anything else I need to be concerned about besides the high fat content as I'm naturally a hard gainer lean body type anyways
 
It's pretty bad for you but I guess you can get away with it with carnivore or keto diet. It's pretty much a giant slab of fried pork belly. Maybe if you don't eat the skin then it's not as bad.

Depends what you compare it to.
Acid?
This is sooo much healthier
Everything is relative

I think this is the version OP is talking about? They deep fry it and let it dry up.


There is also this. I bought this a few times until I realized I was eating mushy pork skin chips.

I'm of the camp that you shouldn't often mix energy macros in mass quantities at the same time to avoid the Randle Cycle. Carbs or fat.......pick a horse and ride it. Chicharrones in my opinion are fine if you're doing keto or at the very least keeping your high fat foods separate from your high sugar/starch foods. If it's just the pork skins fried in their own fat, then to me it's not that unhealthy. If you're getting the processed/flavored ones full of additives and bullshit then the story changes. There are certainly things that are worse for you out there that are sometimes touted as health foods.

Obviously, things can change if you're trying to gain weight and bulk as someone who is naturally skinny(more often just comes down to poor appetite or overestimation of calories). Sometimes you just need to get those calories in your body otherwise your progress will be limited. Keep active, sleep well, and don't go on a permanent/dreamer bulk like 70% of the population and you'll probably be fine.

He just asked you about the food item chicharon. Doesn´t matter whatever else is in his diet. He just asked if eating fried pork belly most morning is good. You need to background info to answer that.

I personaly don´t consider pork healthy. Fat is ok. But pork is not clean food to me. I don´t mean dietary clean but literaly unclean.

Yellows perish, I wanna be able to edit

Parasites. Swine got the most parasites. Don't sweat. Lay in dirt. Eat any and everything, including feces and even your teeth. They will not leave anything of a corpse. The bible defined it you can goolge something bout rechewing and hoof shape. Also some people will say swine are too similar too humans, haven't there been heart transplants pig to human.

It's unhealthy saturated fat that's been deep fried in oxidised oils, creating a heavy dose of AGE's.

It's clearly not healthy.

Isn't saturated fat good for you at a certain amount? What would you say is worse? Eating scrambled eggs with chicharrones fried in olive oil? Or pure eggs but fried in grass fed butter? I know eggs are healthier but the only way I can really tolerate them without some other kind of meat is if I fry them in eggs
 
That shit is bad for you. Yummy, but bad. Every morning? Please don't do that to yourself.

Pig and human taste very similar, so I have heard. As far as parasites like trichinosis, it's not common in America. You can eat pork, even slightly pink, without problem. Cooking it all the way through will kill parasites AFAIK.
