Tips to Reduce Fat in Pork
Since there's no guarantee that your portion of pork will be as healthy as chicken or fish, take a good look at the label of your selection before purchasing.
Look for the leanest cuts, remove visible fat.
Avoid marbling as it's chiefly fat. While a little fat serves to add flavor in your recipe, a lot of fat will leave it swimming in so much fat that the protein will require a good draining before it can be transferred to the table.
Before cooking be sure to remove all visible fat.
Choose Healthiest, Leanest Cuts for You - and Family
When choosing cuts of pork, if you aren't eating alone and are responsible for serving two or more - think smartly when making your choices. Kids are in the stage of development.
Once their fat cells are plumped they will have difficultly all of their life with weight issues.

While this doesn't mean they are guaranteed a life of being overweight, it does mean that they will have more difficulty keeping weight off than kids who remain thin during childhood.
Rarely do you see an overweight child grow up into a thin adult.
How to Zap Fat, Absorb Extra Calories From Oils
When cooking any type of meat protein using paper towels to absorb excess grease and oils can save a significant amount of fat grams and calories.
Rather than focusing on batters and dips, opt for zero calorie methods for seasoning your pork - pulling spices from your rack and herbs from your garden or storage bend.
