Pork is incredibly cheap, i've read its low in saturated fats compared to beef, has loads of protein + fat(depending on the cut), and tastes great.
pros, cons???

Cons: Higher in cholesterol (depending on comparison target), lower in saturated fat, zinc, and B12... All minor however.
Pros: Higher in MUFAs, higher in cholesterol, higher in Potassium.
Enjoy.

thanks!
more pork input!
There are leaner cuts of pork out there, i got one from my local grocery store (wemans) 4g of fat in 4oz and 25g of protein, cant beat that for 3 bucks for 1lb, lasted me a day and a couple meals.
pro: tastes better than chicken
enough for me.
Had pork post workout today, just have to avoid the fatty spots.
Good lean center cut pork chops are the best. Thats my favorite cut of pork.
pork loin is really lean
I eat a lot of pork tenderloin, its very inexpensive, I can get 2 loins for 8 bucks and it gets me a good 6-8 servings. It's comparable to chicken breasts in leanness but isn't dry like chicken. I love it baked with some korean barbeque sauce.
love the pork loin... only con i've ever read is that it takes 2x longer to digest than beef or chicken

ill need a source for that, find that hard to believe, altho slow digesting protein is always a plus besides pwo
ever since i saw a video of some guy putting coke on a piece of pork and seeing worms come out i havent touched pork since:(

You would be surprised to know there are worms and other insects in a lot of food u eat, or at least have been exposed to them. Good news is they are harmless, and its extra protein =p
i remember a news story years ago which examined the amount of bug material we ate indirectly through regular food processing
pretty much, all food contains bug material, and there are rules regarding food processing stating that a certain amount of bug material can safely be included with all food during processing, as you will never get 0%
Yeah lots of fish actually have worms in it. One that i've noticed that always has worms is Alaskan Cod, but yes they are harmless when the meat is cooked.
ok extra protein sounds good heh
