I need some clarity on the FP for Bacon. It says that one serving (2 slices) of bacon is approximately 25g of protein and 2 slices doesn’t even come close to 25g of protein.

You are correct, typically your normal bacon has about 10g per two slices of bacon. There are thicker cuts of bacon and higher protein bacon where you can get closer to 25g of protein per two slices of bacon. If you aren’t able to find bacon with 25g per two slices (about 12.5g of protein per slice), I would choose a different fatty protein.
Yes, you’re totally right and I’m so sorry for the confusion! I meant to remove the bacon from that list and completely forgot. Two slices of bacon only have about 6-10g of protein. But if I increased the number of slices to hit 25g of protein, the fat content would jump to around 20g, which is more than I like to include in one serving.
I try to stick with options that are closer to 25g protein and around 10g of fat for FPs. If you want to include bacon, no problem- just use the serving size listed, and pair it with an additional 3 oz of a lean protein (LP) to hit the full 25g of protein for that meal.
