    Bacon and Egg Pasta Salad

    The Best Salad for A Protein-Rich Meal

    This summer pasta salad with bacon and eggs is so quick and easy to make that it will surely become one of your favourites for a picnic! It’s also a great clean-out-the-fridge recipe since you probably have most of the ingredients in your refrigerator already: broccoli, cheddar, eggs, bell peppers, etc.

    SIMPLY DELICIOUS: Eggs are great for adding protein to a meal, like in this pasta salad. Here is another original recipe using eggs: poached eggs (shakshouka) and polenta fries.

    à savoir

    Do you know turkey bacon?

    Turkey bacon is an interesting alternative to pork bacon. Indeed, turkey is a leaner meat and therefore has better nutritional values. In comparison, turkey bacon has 4.5g of lipids for 2 strips, while regular bacon has 6.2g. It’s therefore 30% less fat!

    Psst! Caution! Read the ingredient list carefully when choosing turkey bacon because many products on the market contain added sugars and food preservatives. Always choose the product with the shortest ingredient list! Otherwise, make your own vegan bacon with rice paper!

Nutritional Information

  • Calories
    540 Kcal
    -
    Calories are units of energy. They represent a measurable quantity of energy brought by a food. Your energetic needs depend on your age, height, weight, gender and how active you are. The average need ranges around 2000 calories/day. A higher or inferior intake might affect your weight.
  • Lipids
    25 g
    38 % DV
    Lipids (fats) are essential to your body. They are an important source of energy. However, an excessive consumption is associated with weight gain and higher risks of chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular problems. Unsaturated fats are preferable to saturated or trans fats.
  • Saturated fats
    9 g
    45 % DV
    Saturated fats, commonly known as “bad fats”, are mostly found in processed foods and in some products of animal origin. If consumed in excess, they can have adverse effects on cardiovascular health, including increases in LDL-cholesterol levels. Try to eat better lipids such as those found in fish, nuts, oilseeds, and oils!
  • Cholesterol
    230 mg
    77 % DV
    Your body mainly uses cholesterol to produce hormones. It is only found in foods of animal origin such as meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products. However, dietary cholesterol has little to no influence on your cholesterol level compared to saturated and trans fats.
  • Sodium
    490 mg
    20 % DV
    In small quantities, sodium is an essential nutrient for your body. However, you probably eat too much of it without even being aware, and this overconsumption can have adverse effects on your health. Indeed, excess sodium targets organs and can lead to hypertension.
  • Carbohydrates
    54 g
    18 % DV
    Carbohydrates are a good source of energy. They are your brain’s main source of fuel for all functions. The carbohydrate group is divided into simple and complex sugars, fibers, and starches. Carbohydrates are mostly found in fruits, dairy products, baked goods, pastries, sweets, cereals, and legumes. It is recommended to not eat high quantities of added sugars. Limit your intake to 50 g/day.
  • Fibers
    4 g
    16 % DV
    Fibers have many health benefits. They are divided into two types: soluble and insoluble fibers. Soluble fibers can reduce your cholesterol level and help regulate glycemia (blood sugar levels). As for insoluble fibers, they increase stool bulk and regulate bowel function. Since they slow down the digestion process, they promote satiety, which contributes to appetite and weight control. You should consume at least 30 g everyday.
  • Proteins
    25 g
    -
    Protein has different roles in your body. They are essential to muscle, blood, and even skin development! In fact, protein build most of your bodily structures. They also provide all the amino acids your body needs to make neurotransmitters, new molecules, enzymes, and even certain hormones!
