Choose Leaner Cuts Of Pork

While pork has a bad reputation for being high in fat, today's farming methods have produced much leaner pigs, which means leaner pork. If you are trying to reduce the amount of fat in your diet then you will want to choose leaner cuts of pork.








Instructions


1. Look for a lean center cut pork loin. This cut of pork has 130 calories per four-ounce serving, five grams of fat, two grams of saturated fat and 45 milligrams of cholesterol.








2. Consider pork tenderloin. This cut is even leaner than the center cut pork loin with three grams of fat, one gram of saturated fat and 62 milligrams of cholesterol.


3. Sink your teeth into a pork boneless top loin chop. This cut of pork has a little over five grams of fat, less than two grams of saturated fat and about 61 milligrams of cholesterol per four-ounce serving.


4. Shop for a lean pork roast. Pork top loin roast has 147 calories per four ounce serving, 5.3 grams of fat, 1.5 grams of saturated fat and only 68 milligrams of cholesterol.
