Pork Chop Nutrition

Pork chops are a popular cut of meat from the loin of a pig, valued for their rich flavor and high protein content. The nutritional information can vary depending on the cut, cooking method, and whether the fat is trimmed. This overview focuses on a standard medium-sized, broiled pork chop weighing approximately 4 ounces (113 grams), including both lean meat and fat.

Calorie Details

A typical medium pork chop (113g) contains around 250 calories. The majority of these calories come from protein and fat, as pork contains no carbohydrates. The exact calorie count will increase if the chop is fried in oil or coated in breading. To manage your calorie intake, consider baking, grilling, or broiling the pork chop instead of frying. Trimming visible fat before cooking is another effective way to reduce the overall calorie and fat content.

Excellent Protein Source

Pork chops are an excellent source of high-quality protein, providing about 27 grams per medium chop. This makes up more than half of the daily recommended value for the average adult. Protein is essential for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle mass, and promoting a feeling of fullness, which can help with weight management. This makes pork a valuable addition to many balanced diets, especially for those looking to increase their protein intake.
