Discover 10 Low-Carb Foods for a Healthy Breakfast

2. Bacon

Low-carb diets are also beneficial for lowering triglycerides and boosting HDL or good cholesterol. Bacon is a breakfast staple that is also low-carb friendly, but it is better to stick with turkey bacon rather than pork. Turkey bacon has only 6.9 grams of saturated fat per serving, while pork bacon has 12 grams — it may be delicious, but it is not the healthiest option. Toss bacon on the plate next to your eggs, or chop it up into a crustless quiche that will keep for a few meals in the fridge.
