Bacon Wrapped Shrimp with Cauliflower
“Bacon is a great mix of protein and fat—2 slices of a popular commercial bacon have 6 grams of fat– great for energy, balancing hormones and satiety—and 4 grams of protein, all for a measly 70 calories. Contrary to popular misconception, only 1/3 of the fat in bacon (2g) is saturated. (These numbers may vary slightly from brand to brand, but you get the idea). And even if it were saturated fat—which it’s not—who cares? Saturated fat does not and never did cause heart disease, a fact roundly demonstrated in two major meta-analyses in the last five years, including one published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.” Johnny Bowden, co-author of Smart Fat.
