I do have a good pork chop recipe that is 260 calories, with the adaptations I list

Parmesan Crusted Pork chops

1/2 c. egg beaters
1 c. bread crumbs (can make your own & make calories even lower. Have recipe for one if you are interested)
3/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
4 boneless center loin pork chops (thin works best)
salt & pepper to taste
1 1/2 Tbs. olive oil



Beat egg in bowl. Place bread crumbs in another bowl. Place parm. cheese into another bowl. Sprinkle chops with salt & pepper. Coat chops in cheese, patting to adhere. Dip the chops into the egg, then bread crumbs.

Heat olive oil in large skillet over med. heat. Add pork chops & cook until golden brown & center reaches 150. Approx. 6 minutes per side.

Refrigerated mashed potatoes are widely available and are already seasoned, so no additional salt is needed. The five-ingredient gravy would go well over pan-sautéed or oven-fried chicken. It's also great over an open-faced turkey sandwich.


Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 pork chop, 2/3 cup potatoes, and 1/4 cup gravy)


Ingredients
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
4 (4-ounce) boneless center-cut loin pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
1 teaspoon butter
1 1/3 cups 1% low-fat milk
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (20-ounce) package refrigerated mashed potatoes (such as Simply Potatoes)
Preparation
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt evenly over both sides of pork. Add 1 teaspoon butter to pan, stirring until butter is melted. Add the pork to pan, and cook pork for 3 minutes on each side. Remove pork from pan, and keep warm.

Combine low-fat milk and flour, stirring with a whisk. Add the milk mixture to pan, stirring with a whisk. Stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, poultry seasoning, and black pepper. Return pork to pan. Cover; reduce heat, and simmer for 7 minutes or until gravy is thick and pork is done.

While pork cooks, prepare potatoes according to package directions. Serve with pork.
