I have a ton of bone-in pork chops in the deep freeze from a half hog that we bought and had butchered. I know that pork chops are generally a leaner cut of meat, but I have no idea how to guage the calories of them. I know that without the bone, I can weigh my portion and go from there...how do you meausre your bone-in pork chops???

    I weigh mine before I eat it, and then weigh the bones after and subtract the bone wt from the before wt. So if your chop weighed 6 oz then the bone weighed 2 oz you had 4 oz of chop. :) Or bone it before you weigh it and eat it.

    If all are basically the same size, you only have to do this once. Cook it, weigh it whole, eat it, weigh the bone and subtract from the original number. Or if you don't mind the questions you can cut it off the bone and weigh it before eatting. Locate the proper data and pop it in.
