Does Pork Have a Lot of Protein
So, does pork have a lot of protein? Heck yes. Is it as lean as chicken? Sometimes, if you pick the right cut. Is it delicious? Obviously, or we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Pork is a legitimate, versatile, budget-friendly protein source that can totally fit into a healthy diet.
Just don’t go overboard on the bacon. (I know, I know—easier said than done.)
Next time someone says “pork isn’t healthy,” you can politely inform them that a pork tenderloin has more protein per bite than a lot of other foods. Then take a bite and smile. You’ve earned it.
