Pork?

iluvpooh · 06-02-2009, 12:26 PM

Is a lean cut of pork allowed on the QWL program?
Thanks.

I would think if its lean it would be okay, like the loin or something. I have had lean ham, but not gotten any pork yet.

Well, pork is not lean meat. Even if there's no visible fat, there's still a lot of fat throghout the tissue. A serving of 'lean' pork loin has about 15 g of fat comparing to the same serving of chicken breast with less then 3 g of fat. This is why Stillman didn't include pork in his list. BUT, it's all up to you, I think. I wouldn't eat pork, but if you think that's waht you need it's your choice. I'm sure you will still lose with pork though, but probably will have better results without it.

Good luck!

Wow

I had no idea! What about the ham? My package say 1.5 grams of fat, do you think its wrong?

No, I don't think it's wrong. It all depends on the serving size. What's the serving size on the package? acaloriecounter.com a serving (56 g) of regular ham contains about 5 g of fat.

The package is gone now, but it seems like it was like 4 oz. It said lean baked ham, no carbs and 1.5 - 2 fat. Hmmmm, I'll have to check the package again at the store.
Thanks though

When the Stillmans book was written, pork was a meat much higher in fat than it is today. Pork has been continually bred to be leaner and leaner, especially in the past 15 years.

Pork tenderloin is a very lean cut of meat, with about the same amount of fat as chicken breast. Much of the deli ham available now is extremely low in fat as well.

Not sure of the link rules here?

Will Pork Become the New Chicken?

I just wish there was such a thing as low-fat crunchy bacon, sigh.
