Don't avoid pork, avoid people who comment about your meals!

I enjoy all kinds of meat. I have pork once a week or once every two weeks. I enjoy the taste and it's just meat. I tend to get cut off the fat, can't stand chewing on jelly lol.
I've just done a few searches for pork chop and the sodium levels aren't exactly high O.o
I'm on Tesco right now and 100g of pork only has 100mg of sodium, which isn't really that bad. I guess it depends on where you get the pork chop from I guess. It's also only got like 10g of fat and you can easily cut that fat off because you can blatantly see the fat hanging around the edges of the meat. You can easily halve the amount of fat on a pork chop by trimming the fat off.
I don't know what people are going on about with the sodium in pork chops though... Just enjoy your pork, it's high in protein and it tastes great.0 -
There is always someone out there ready to comment .. everyone seems to be an expert these days... so annoying...
Everyone here has given you good advice.. True, true...0 -
I take pork over beef and chicken anytime......0

You should eat what you feel is healthy and that you enjoy. Personally, I have to avoid pork for religious reasons, but I'm not about to get in someone else's face for eating it, you know?0

A friend of mine doesn't eat pork. Once her mother went on a rant about it and started yelling at me about it, saying that it was disgusting and it made people "fat, lazy, stupid, and mesmerized"....Oddly enough her daughter (my friend) doesn't work nor want to work, sleeps all day, and along with her mother weigh 40+ more than I do.
Did she think Pork was a "street" name for hash! lol0 -
I've actually just added it to my diet because I'm tired of chicken and turkey. It all depends on how it's cooked, the pork loins I've been scrafing down are really lean and high in protein.0

Thanks everyone! The person made me feel guilty, like I had indulged in a huge fatty steak or a giant dessert or something. I panicked for a moment because I have worked so hard. Feeling much better now! :happy:
Ugh. The part about how the person made you feel guilty is EXACTLY the reason my diary is private. As long as you enjoyed it and it worked into your daily macros you're good! Don't feel guilty!0 -
Get some Pork on your Fork!0

IMO its a poor meat. Low protein values and very high fat against other meats. Maybe as the odd one off but consistently and wanting to hit a good shape? Not at all.
I personally don't get it, people want to get in shape then mock people who actually want to have the best meats for their needs in their diets.
Strange mentality.0 -

Relax, eat a balanced meal, lock your food diary and enjoy the freedom to eat tasty foods.0 -
I have read that pork is higher in protein than some other meats....that's suppoe to be a good thing. I eat & love pork. In fact I'm fixing pork ribs tonight & looking forward to it. Everything in moderation0
