A member asked:
Is pork loin (the round part that looks white) the same nutritional value as skinless chicken breast (white meat), if all pork fat is trimmed away?

Complicated: I checked a database that includes many brands of skinless chicken breast and lean pork loin - they're very close: for identical portions, the calories are identical (140 grams of meat=240 calories each; for pork vs chicken: total fat: 8.6 g vs 6.3 g but for monounsaturated (good fat)-3.7 g vs 2.2. For cholesterol: 100 vs 119. So, overall, they're about the same. (they both get a "b" rating).

Both good protein: Fatless pork loin, and skinless/fatless, if cooked without batter nor frying, are a good source of lean protein for people wanting to eat a healthy diet. Egg white is good protein, too.
