About Lean Pork
A common everyday meat, good for comparison against chicken and beef.
Health Benefits of Lean Pork
High protein, low fat
100g of lean pork has 20.3g protein and 6.2g fat, 143 kcal. Pork ranks top among common meats for vitamin B1 (thiamine), far above chicken and beef, supporting carb metabolism and nervous function.
Fat differs by cut
Loin and leg cuts are about 6-7g fat/100g - comparable to chicken thigh and far less than the 'pork = fatty' stereotype. The key is choosing lean cuts and trimming visible fat.
Healthier cooking methods
Blanching or oilling sliced/shredded lean pork removes some fat. Prefer quick stir-fries, steaming or low-temp braising, and pair with lots of vegetables to boost flavour without added calories.
