Pork vs steak

**yeahbuddy289** · 10-20-2013, 03:59 PM

Besides personal preference why would someone choose steak over pork? From my understanding the protein content is the same but pork is lower in fat.

Depends on the cut. I eat pork and steak. I eat a lot of london broil and lean pork chops. Once a month I'll eat baby backs, or a rib eye, ( which are high in fat).

I choose beef over pork. My understanding is beef has more amino acids, vitamins and minerals then pork. Can't go wrong with a big juicy steak! Round, flank and sirloin are the leanest cuts (In that order from leanest to most fat).

I also eat pork. Love ham, bacon, sausage with eggs. Looking forward to Thanksgiving Ham. yum!

As long as you hit your macro's I dont see why not. I try to eat a variety of meat sources.

Lets say it is 90% lean. Thats about 90 grams of protein and 45 grams of fat in 1lb.

I wouldn't put a second's thought into it. I love pork and I love steak. Both are great sources of protein, and I can find relatively lean cuts of both.

In Italia we eat FIORENTINA.....Great!!!!!

I take a more practical approach, assuming both are lean, I buy whatever is cheaper at the moment. Most stores have sales of certain lean cuts. When I eat high fat, high pro, low carb, I definitely stick to rib-eye due to taste lol.

As long as it used to breathe and bleed at one point I do t care. I'll eat it lol. I do prefer beef over pork though unless we're talking bacon...mmmm...bacon

I eat it in Chinese food or fast food. I'm not picky whether your truck killed it or the local butcher
