Low Carbs and Pork

Pork’s Perfect for Low-Carb Diets

Many people are choosing to limit carbohydrates and eat more protein to lose weight or reduce their intake of refined sugar.

In case you haven’t heard, pork is a great source of high-quality protein. A 3-ounce serving of pork tenderloin has 24 grams of high-quality protein, with only 4 grams of fat and – of course – zero carbohydrates

Healthful weight control involves eating a variety of foods and getting regular physical activity. Lean protein can be helpful by providing a feeling of fullness at meals, thereby reducing the urge to overeat later. Click here to learn more about pork’s role in eating well and staying healthy.
