Pork Chops

1farley1

Can anyone tell me why a pork chop grilled with bone in has 257 calories versus one grilled which only has 126 calories?

If you can't find a reliable USDA entry that matches your package label you'll have to make one for yourself.

The entries are user input and you'll find a lot of inaccuracies and silly stuff. You'll have to look it up and see if an entry matches what you have I'm afraid.

Any entry for one chop is a bad entry, that's why.

Pork, fresh, loin, center loin (chops), bone-in, separable lean only, raw = 127 calories per 100 grams.

Pork, fresh, loin, top loin (chops), boneless, separable lean only, raw = 127 calories per 100 grams.

Yeah but good luck weighing your edible part of the bone in chop raw.

I weigh food like that cooked, anyway. The point was that the bone doesn't make any difference in the nutrition of the pork.

Weigh it, cook it, eat it, weigh what's left, subtract. Yeah, the left over bone and fat will lose a little bit of weight during cooking, but it's probably more accurate than guessing and will also result in a slight over-estimate, which is better than under estimating.
