***Pork Chops*** Good or Bad??

**jm0311** · 07-29-2009, 07:19 PM

Sorry if this is a redundant thread (it seems alot are)

But I just read that you should steer clear of pork chops and stick mostly to Fish and Chicken.

Is this true? Is this a fatty meat? It looks pretty lean to me and I've been eating the hell out of them!!!

Please shed some light on this guys!!

Fish and chicken tend to be leaner with better aminos
And pork chops taste like shoe leather

shouldn't be if you get a full shoulder un-cut, buying things like that are always cheaper because people don't want to take the time to trim and cut the meat before cooking, I love it

Pork chops can be very lean. I like to throw in pork on occasion. I like the taste and I like the change of pace. I've often wondered why it doesn't get more attention in the bodybuilding world. I think it has something to do with the "stigma". People view pork as fatty and unhealthy. However, pork these days is much leaner then it used to be due to selective breeding, different feed, stuff like that - they are engineering it to be healthier.

pork chops fit into the 'everything in moderation' group for me...its the kind of thing i'll have 2-3 times a month to mix it up.

very easy recipe:

cut all fat off chop
cook chop 3/4
add low fat low sodium cream of mushroom soup
leave to simmer for 10 min

very nice with rice.

Assorted chops is cheap at sam's club. That is what I buy.

Why would you cut off the most delicious and nutritious part of the meat?

Does it make sense to you because it doesn't make sense to me.

Personally i don't like pork chops..but cutting fat off meat takes away flavor..and i think ruins the meat..i mean do you take the fat out of you steak too? That's what makes it Juicy and so good. Plus you need fat, it's like taking the yolk out of and egg..just a waste.

pork chops good. pork chops no bad.

**getgot211** · 07-29-2009, 08:19 PM

get some Berkshire or Duroc pork. get chops, on the bone, at least 1" thick. stuff with fontina/spinach/pine nuts/garlic mix. grill.

**determined4000** · 07-29-2009, 08:20 PM

Easy tastier recipe
1. Light grill
2. Place pork chops in dog bowl or garbage (either will do- no effect on macros)
3. Remove steak from refrierator
4. Apply favorite seasoning
5. Place on grill and cookk until red and juicy

1. I dont eat regular bread
2. I have never seen green bread

**Defiled** · 07-29-2009, 08:31 PM

Bad in the way i don't like how they taste.

They seem too be banned in many religions? maybe there is some truth to that.

**nocal00** · 07-29-2009, 09:27 PM

**adrewl22** · 07-29-2009, 09:30 PM

i love pork chops. they taste so damn delicious. whos with me?

**pen_destin** · 07-29-2009, 09:39 PM

Porchops are sorta high in calories, even in moderation. I try to steer clear of them, and if the girlfriend just has to make em I chop of the fat and that takes off about 80 or so calories. I try to stick with chicken breast and turkey meat both are low cal

LAWL BUT HE IS!!!!

GET IT?

sorry it's late.

**Backtothestack** · 02-07-2010, 06:34 PM

Step 1. Put Mrs Dash on said pork chop
Step 2. Broil that ish on high 6 min or so on each side. I always buy at least 3/4inch think chops.
Step 3. Grub down. Feel free to grab the A.1 for an even better ride with little extra macros.

**JDkeystone** · 02-07-2010, 07:13 PM

^ nice 6+ month bump.

And I agree with determined; pork chops (pork-anything, actually) are naaaaasty

**kkurt212** · 02-07-2010, 07:18 PM

pork loin usually tastes good if u marinade it overnight. i think its not too bad fat wise either

**stiffnation** · 07-14-2011, 08:21 PM

I would only eat them when bulking along with a lot of steak milk whole eggs and black beans if your trying to cut I deff would stay clear of pork chops

"Fatty" meat does not equal "bad" meat.

Pork chops are awesome. Eat them with frequency, if you so desire (and IIFYM).

Edit: strong bump. Missed that when I replied.
