Pork Tenderloin

flyonthewall Posts: 1,823 Joined: 2005/01/18	2006/02/02, 03:05 PM I noticed that pork tenderloin, or any pork products for that matter, are not listed in the "grocery list for healthy eating". I know that many of the pork products are high in fat, but 3oz of pork tenderloin, with fat removed comes in at 139cal 4gF/0C/24gP, which looks similar to a chicken breast. I like to have this on occation, marinated and grilled, as a change from chicken--you know, the other white meat. Is there something I'm missing and should be avoiding pork tenderloin if I'm dieting? -------------- Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

I think BB1 made the list originally, maybe he was protecting the pigs:laugh:

Venison, buffalo, ostrich, pork tenderloin are all okay as long as they fit into your dietary plan.
