    **Pork Tenderloin vs Flank Beef**

    Guys

    Reciently been changing one of my meals per day from beef to pork.

    I have heard Dave Palumbo talking about why beef i good while trying to add size (to do with inflamitory properties), but im not sure if pork shares the same characteristics.

    macros for both will be similar.(fat maybe slightly higer in the beef)

    Macros for 8 oz of pork fillet / tenderloin are below

    240 cals
    7g fat
    2g sat fat
    0g carbs
    42g protein

    Would anyone reccomend not swaping beef for pork on a regular basis?

    Lookin for some actuall reasoning, not just a stab in the dark answer, so any links to articles would be great.

    thanks

    I prefer beef, but eat pork from time to time. Pork has more fat.

    clearly the beef has more calories but this is not the question.

    Other than higher calories, does beef contain anyhting that Pork Tenderloin does not?

    I do the same for the sake of variety...I look at them as being very similar. The tenderloins are lean, and I cut the fat from the edge before I toss them on the george foreman grill.

    From what i have read there isn't a real big difference. Just less fat.
