Only the bacon is questionable... and only because of the nitrates.

Good pork rinds are just protein and pork fat, which is about 30% monounsaturated fat. Bad pork rinds might be friend in some bad for you oil like soybean or corn oil.

Fried eggs are good, too. Watch what they are fried in. They should be fried in butter, olive oil, canola oil, or lard (mmm... lard...).

You don't have to eat tons and tons of fat, but my low carb days are up to 60% fat calories.

Some people aren't satisfied by fat, so those people don't have to look for more, as long as you're getting a decent amount of it. I'd say about 50% or more on a low carb diet is good.

A low carb diet should not be confused with a high protein diet. Lots of protein, too few carbs, and not enough fat is a miserable existance.
