Why did the chicken cross the road?

Chicken is perhaps too lean on its own to be a long-term diet, but some fats and vegetables give a great deal of flexibility for amazing Ketogenic meals.
Skin can be used too and meat fats are great for low-carb Keto dieters; both can give us a rocket boost in energy to compensate for lack of glucose in the diet.
Bacon is a great addition due to its fat-to-protein ratio, and it’s both tasty and caloric enough to sustain you for months.
Bacon’s also got salt/sodium dieters typically lack.
There are several types of bacon, with pork usually having more fat and calories than turkey bacon.
