Pork is often one of the last options people pick when choosing between meats. What do you think is the reason (apart from religious beliefs). It’s often one of the cheapest options and there are many lean cuts available.
Is or pork or beef healthier as a protein overall
Pork-based products or pork's meat has been considered a "bad" food. Is it really?
Where I'm from pork meat is cheaper compared to cow's, if one is rotating between chicken, turkey, fish, etc. but is overall having more pork than cow, would there be any issues (if meals always include fiber/vegetables)?
Hi all, I was wondering if someone could answer me the age old question in regards to pork crackling chips: are they too good to be true in terms of protein intake? For context, I am trying to make a list of...
Folks from NJ know what's up! Pork Roll is a delicious breakfast meat that has near perfect macros. A serving is 200 cals, 18f/10p/1c. I do not enjoy spam so this is a great alternative, but unfortunately it may be...
I found this little bag of pork cracklins (fried pig skin chips/snacks) at the store and the label says there’s 7g of protein per serving which is a ton considering a serving is only 14g, so half of it is...
40 grams of protein, 200 calories, WHAT? Why does nobody talk about pork crackling
Not the homemade kind, but I frequently take my son to a take out Raman place and it’s made with bone broth and pork belly. He doesn’t like the pork belly but I’m hoping that the bone broth is good...
Hi, I’d like to try out the spam and pickle diet recommended by Cole on my re-feed days. I’m not too fond of pork though and was looking for an alternative that would give me the same low protein, high...

I've been doing keto OMAD and want to make some crispy chicken wings. Normally I coat in rice flour before frying. Is there anything I can use as an alternative?
Poultry (meat and eggs), and pork, when compared with other meats (beef, goat, bison, etc…) has a vastly different fatty acid profile, being much higher in Linoleic acid, and lower in stearic. This has led me to wonder: is this difference...
I was always into fitness/bodybuilding and a low-carb diet is the best way to lose some fat. I did it a few times, but around 2000 it was mainly low-carb, low-fat, high-protein. Do you remember those negative articles about low-carbing,...

Wouldn’t uncured bacon (meaning ingredients would only be bacon, salt and flavoring if necessary) technically be healthy because the nitrates/additives are removed? The saturated fat is coming from a natural source, and sodium is not as much a concern as...

What are these fatty acids and what are the sources of these? I look to specifically understand these 2 types.
High methionine foods include turkey, beef, fish, pork, tofu, milk, cheese, nuts, beans, and whole grains like quinoa Is this because their high in protein or because or reasons?
