    Pork chops

    Good or bad? I have found a lot of mixed reviews. I have browsed around for meal ideals and havent found anything that talks about pork.
    I did find this tho. Shouldn't it be part of any diet?
    Lean cuts of pork are high in protein, low in fat and have more B-vitamins (thiamin, niacin, B6 and B12) than many other types of meat

    Pork Tenderloin
    Calories: 96 calories

    Protein: 18 grams
    Iron 6%
    Thiamin 45%
    Niacin 30%
    B6 27%
    B12 6%

    Pork also contains healthy doses of zinc and selenium.

    As Long as you have the right cut of pork and it fits into your macro's then no problem.

    I eat pork tenderloin whenever it takes my fancy.

    Would twice a week be to much? I've read somewhere once a month was plenty. Didn't make sense to me.

    Mate, as long as it fits in your macro's you could almost make it your primary source of protein. Proper tenderloin is too dry for my tastes and more expensive than chic or tuna. Funnily enough I did have some for lunch before I read your original post.

    Better than good. Eat as much as you want (within your macro target of course). As stated, get the right cut - boneless center cut is good... trim any remaining visible fat and you're gtg.
