First, let's take a look at the macros. Each of these are listed in grams and as usual, normalized to 200 calories for easy comparison, so we're always comparing apples to apples.
| Egg | Bacon |
| Nutrient | egg | bacon |
| Protein | 18g | 14g |
| Carbohydrate | 1g | 1g |
| Fiber | 0g | 0g |
| Fat | 14g | 15g |
| Monounsat. Fat | 5g | 15g |
| Polyunsat. Fat | 2g | 2g |
| Saturated Fat | 4g | 5g |
Next, let's take a look at the Vitamin density. These values are shown in units of percent of recommended daily intake. And since we're showing 200 calories worth, this means anything above 10% is good.
| Nutrient | egg | bacon |
| Choline | 83% | 11% |
| Vitamin A | 31% | 1% |
| Vitamin C | 0% | 0% |
| Vitamin E | 11% | 1% |
| Vitamin K | 1% | 0% |
Egg have significantly more Vitamins A, E than bacon. Egg are a good source of Vitamin A. Egg are a great source of Riboflavin, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B12, Phosphorus, Iron. Bacon are a good source of Niacin, Vitamin B12, Phosphorus.
And here we see the B-vitamins: B1 (Thiamin), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine)
| Nutrient | egg | bacon |
| Vitamin B1 | 10% | 15% |
| Vitamin B2 | 61% | 9% |
| Vitamin B3 | 1% | 34% |
| Vitamin B5 | 40% | 9% |
| Vitamin B6 | 18% | 12% |
| Vitamin B12 | 90% | 23% |
Now, lets look at mineral density. Here we have a lot of important electrolytes and minerals. Once again, units are in percent of RDI, thus for this 200 calorie serving anything above 10% would considered high.
| Nutrient | egg | bacon |
| Sodium | 13% | 25% |
| Potasium | 5% | 6% |
| Calcium | 15% | 1% |
| Magnesium | 5% | 3% |
| Phosphorus | 46% | 34% |
| Iron | 43% | 9% |
| Manganese | 2% | 0% |
| Selenium | 99% | 51% |
| Copper | 14% | 6% |
| Zinc | 17% | 14% |
