Pork chops? yes or no

[bodybuilder]

Well yesterday i bought some pork chops(on sale) and baked em with a honey glaze. Anyways i know this isn't the best protein source but they looked pretty lean. It was a nice change from my usual chicken, fish, steak. How bad are pork chops? Would you guys consider this a cheat meal?

I'm probably going to be in the minority, but I'd say that the pork chops themselves aren't so bad. The honey glaze on the other hand is possibly the problem.

Yeah i try-ed to go as light as possible with the glaze.

well they arent good ( as far as for a bb diet ), but I agree with it being a nice change from the usual. If you have a few chops once a month I dont think its a big deal....

Try marinating them in dijon mustard and some cracked pepper.....nice!!

lean pork imo opinion is ok, ie cener cut and loin of pork

[gbrice75]

I've always shy'd away from them, but I know Nark is a huge pork eater (I believe he eats pork daily) and look at his body... based on that alone i'd say it's ok. That said, I would stick with the absolute leanest cuts you can get, i.e. center cut/loin as mentioned above.

I have them once a week with no glaze just in a pan with a little olive oil and sprinkle pepper and very little adobo seasoning. (make sure to trim the fat off it first)

my trainer told me to stay away from them, pork and lamb are the worst meats as far as fat goes. but ye, as they said, once in a while their not going 2 impeed your diet. grilling them is best, on the rare occasion i do have them i do them on the george.

Maybe a few in the off season would not be to bad.

Agreed... lmao.

I go through 10+ lbs of pork every single week.

i eat gammon regularly, dont see any probs with it

Nothing wrong with pork. I just find that if you want a fatty protein source, fatty cuts of steak/lamb are a way better option and if you want a lean protein source, chicken breast and fish tends to be more efficient - so pork does get left behind.

[gbrice75]

I just bought a bunch from Costco. I trimmed all visible fat away, and will be grilling them up tonight for the week. Mmmm!!
