Brief Answer:
Can eat...

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,

I have gone through your cholesterol count, and it seemed within the acceptable levels. I usually advise my patients to limit or avoid intake of foods high in sugar and saturated fatty acids.

Taking into account your good cholesterol numbers, you can eat small to moderate amount of bacon with one egg. Please bare in mind to have less calorie in the next meals during the day when you consume bacon with one egg. I also advise not to make a habit to eat bacon with one egg on daily basis.


Hope it was of help! If anything unclear, do not hesitate to write me back!
