It's generally very high in sodium, cholesterol and fat... 3x no for many. I eat it but I'm a bad example.

[cj111]

That's cause youre eating everthing at the moment
I thought bout pork the other day when I was out shopping, until I looked at the information on the back, decided to stay with chicken and ground beef

Yes, almost everything. And loving it lol

Just had a nice piece of halibut... FRIED AND STUFFED IN A BURRITO! lol

[kitstreasure]

Pork is one of the harder to digest foods. If you can buy it from a local grower and have it custom cut, etc., then go for it... Otherwise, with all the crap the growers are allowed to feed to pigs, I'd stay away from it.

[cj111]

Man I haven't had anything fried in 2 months , I hate you and love you at the same time

I disagree with the above. Pork is an excellent protein source, I don't know why so many look down on it.

Choose leaner cuts (center cut chops, loin, etc) and it's gtg.

Nark uses pork as one of his primary protein sources... if it's good in his book, it's good in mine. Pretty sure Jimmyinkedup is a fan as well.

I like the taste, usually have some bacon every weekend, and every few weeks get some chops from the butcher.

^^^^ goood to know this will help greatly, in my sanity!!!

[cj111]

What's the leanest cut?

[gbrice75]

What's the leanest cut?

Boneless center cut chop or loin, but trim any remaining visible fat.

[Natureboy71]

Yes, every so often I will have some no fat ham steak with my eggs. Not a staple but once every few weeks.

^^^^This, just got to know which cuts to go with. I have been eating it for years.

[Provita]

I like bacon and smoke ham. Good for the soul :-)

[bethdoth]

I slow cook loin chops with veggies and stewed tomatoes. Then I use the juice and 1 chop with brown rice for lunch every now and then!

I have a date with this tenderloin tonight, honestly never bought/cooked pork in my life until I read this thread.

Anyone have a good recipe? Does it work on the bbq ?

Tenderloin would probably do better in the oven. Pork (in general) also is excellent in a crock-pot/slow cooker. Falls apart into shreds!

I'd recommend just starting off with a store-bought dry rub at this point, see how you like it.

This exactly. I eat pork tenderloin about 2-3x/week.

Take it out of frigde and let warm for 20 mins, trim visible fat. salt, pepper and garlic powder. Let sit for 15 mins. Put in a roasting pan and cover with foil. Cook at 375 for 45-55 mins. Uncover and cook for another 15-20 mins. Let rest 5 mins. Slice and eat It is amazing.

[mnj611]

as a chef, pork tenderloin is one of the most tender parts on the pig. So you can grill it for flavor, roasting it till it falls apart, you would do to a shoulder piece or a butt. Using natural herbs is always the best IMO, basil garlic, roasemarry with some mustard. Coriander makes it a little seam sweet with no sugar. I grill mark mine, then toss in oven 350 degrees for about 10-13 minutes depending on size, internal temperature of 145 degrees.

[cj111]

Oh man,you guys are giving me a food hard on.

I'll let ya know how it goes, can't believe I never thought to eat pork before, it was cheaper than chicken

[cj111]

Do you wrap it in foil like a salmon? Or just foil over the top of it

[mnj611]

over the top. Will cause it to steam inside, that breaks the proteins down softly versus the hard heat.

[jimmyinkedup]

i do foil just over top of the pan .... till the last 15 ins or so of cooking - then remove foil.

Tastier too, IMO.

Are you referring to BCAAs and creatine?

lol... I imagine that would be fcking disgusting, but if you do it, let me know how it works out.

[baseline_9]

I'm going to beat a dead horse here and repeat again that there is nothing wrong with pork.... There is nothing wrong with any natural meat, period, if it fits into your daily macro plan....

Just like any animal there are leaner and fattier cuts.... So pick a cut that fits your macro intake best..... If your on a keto diet then u can go for fattier cuts as more fats will be set in your macros....

[Times Roman]

how do you (the diet section) feel about pork? a quick switch from chicken now and then or no way jose?

let me put this in terms that are relevent to me, and then let you pick what you need from it.....

for me, this is a life time effort.

No. I have no desire to get on stage, nor do i have any desire to push and get sub 10% body fat.

For me, this is a hobby.

Because of this, I need diversity in my diet. I cannot eat just chicken and fish the rest of my life. I need beef and pork too.

If I do not allow myself these "luxuries" then i will surely cheat. For me, why not be realistic with my diet and factor in all the things I will eat?

For me, the more moderate my diet, the easier it is to sustain it in the long term.

What good is it to me if I have a strict diet, then fail, and then stay off for long periods of time due to disappointment?

My friends were saying you shouldn't eat to much pork yesterday cause it is almost genetically identical to a human...

Any truth behind this? Then they said something about mad cow disease right around the point I tuned myself out

it is said by the cannibals that we humans taste similar to a sweet pork.

I was just about to mention you.

I eat a LOT of pork. I buy lean cuts or will buy whole joints and cut them up into steaks and then freeze down. I was dubious about pork till I was shown the light. People forget that pork is cheap, relative to things like beef.

I also eat bacon quite frequently of a morning with scrambled eggs for breakfast and some carbs.


Pork and Chicken/Turkey are my two main protein "flesh" choices..

Get some Jamaican Jerk spice and smother that bad boy in it. You will not be disapointed..

What a crock of shit. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that human and yeast cells are 70% identicle, does that mean we should stop eating bread? Some people are just scare mongers. Everything living on this planet has a similar genetic code to each other to one degree or another.

Man, that sounds awesome. Think i'll pick up a loin from Costco this weekend and try it. How are you cooking it with this rub?

I gave up sausages a long time ago and that was a big enough sacrifice!

I mostly roast my chicken but my pork steaks I stick in a hot skillet. What I do is rub a bit of olive oil into the steak, then I then sprinkle a generous coating of spice on top, then I put the steak onto a hot pan with no extra oil, though you could add a very small knob of butter if you wanted. Cook it over a medium heat as you dont want to burn the spice thats been coated on top of the meat, you can cook the whole thing in about 10 mins. You dont even need salt and pepper, just the Jamaican jerk!

Dont know if you guys have Schwartz in North America, but this is what I use:


Haha, even though this isn't the thread for it, the bones in a human arm, or a penguin flipper, a reptiles arm, a birds wing or a dolphin flipper are all nearly structurally identical and in the same places as each other.
