pork ribs? do you count the rib bone weight?

AlisonMacKay · October 2011

When talking about oz and calories of pork ribs do you include the bone when weighting or just the meat.

Are you going to eat the bone?

Since it is a meat generally served with the bone - I'm guessing with the bone. (also, I'd rather over count then under count calories). I believe things like T Bone steak are also with the bone in --- I only assume boneless if it says boneless or without bone.

No, you aren't eating the bone, so you don't count it. However, you pay for it in the price per pound, which I always thought stunk!

Here is the info for baked boneless - 3 oz, no sauce (184 calories - not as bad as I thought!):

Hope that helps! You can compare to what you have and make a logical guess....

Just found this on livestrong.com

Some spare rib recipes suggest using a pound of ribs per serving because the bones weigh much more than the meat
