Never quite heard this label before. Generally a 'good' bacon rasher for rendering is considered about 2/3 : 1/3, fat : meat. (Read 2/3 fat to 1/3 meat per rasher)

Now, there are varying degrees of the way the marbling sits in the meat based on the individual animal, not to mention the different types of cuts we consider in the bacon family.

Salt pork is about 90% fat. Canadian and Irish bacon actually come more from the loin portion. What most think of as the encyclopedia version of generic 'bacon' is more belly, as the closer to the underside of an animal you get, the more fatty, and unexercised the meat is.

What has the most calories medium cooked or well done bacon?

By the slice, the medium cooked has more calories as it still contains more fat than has rendered out of the well done slices. By the ounce, well done bacon has the most calories as it weighs less than raw or medium cooked for the same reason: the fat has rendered out and it is lighter, so more slices per ounce. Well done always has the least fat. So if you want the least fat and calories per slice, always use well done.
