Protein Grams in Pork

Please note that nutrition content varies from recipe to recipe & brand to brand.

FOOD	SERVING SIZE & PREPARATION	NUTRITION NOTES	PROTEIN GRAMS
Bacon	3 medium slices	Filled with nitrates, sodium and fat but also contains a surprising amount of vitamin C. Microwave to zap fat, then drain well. Paper towels work nicely to blot out oils. Though bacon isn't the healthiest goody on the planet, I certainly don't count it out of my diet. It's very filling, very low in calories for what it is, and extremely tasty. Furthermore, a small potato topped with 1 slice of crumbled bacon, some REAL sour cream, a teaspoon of grated cheese, chives and pepper is quite filling for WELL under 200 calories.	6
Canadian Bacon	2 medium slices	Good alternative to standard bacon but remains hefty in sodium and nitrates. If you are taking a MAO inhibitor, take care with Canadian Bacon as it sometimes contains tyramine that can skyrocket blood pressure when mixed with a MAO.	11.3
Ham	3 ounces boneless	High sodium content; nitrates. Individuals on a MAO should consult with doctor before eating ham as it contains tyramine. Fairly low in calories and fat content. Cook thoroughly before eating.	19
Pork Liver	3 ounces	Vitamin A, B-12, iron, riboflavin, folate. Extremely high in cholesterol. Liver in the live product captures hormones. Also contains purines, so people with gout should avoid. May also trigger migraines. Cook well before eating.	22.1
Picnic Shoulder Arm	3 ounces lean only	Good source of protein, thiamine, B vitamins. Contains purines - so avoid if you have gout. May trigger migraines. Cook thoroughly to prevent trichinosis.	22.7
Pickled Pig's Feet	3 ounces	Extreme sodium, high cholesterol, nitrates. May trigger headaches.	12.5
Spareribs	3 ounces lean only	Contains a lot of fat, purines (gout sufferers should avoid) and may trigger migraines. Cook thoroughly before eating.	28
Tenderloin	3 ounces lean only	Good source of protein, B vitamins. Again, this also contains purines and may trigger migraines. Cook thoroughly. Overall, a good meat source for dieters.	25
