It's very healthy. Bacon is normally reserved for an Indulgence/Blow-out day but the fat is removed and there's only a small amount - just enough to add a glorious saltiness. The bacon is also offset by lightly cooked vegetables.
Eggs are optional but adds easily digested protein and the yolk makes a lovely sauce.
The rice 67 used takes only 10 minutes to cook; the bacon slices and veg steam on top, making the dish Almost Instant. That's another thing in the dish's favour -- no waiting around for ages before one can eat!
