Much like beef, pork is a good source of quality protein. It also provides the body with fat used not just as a source of energy, but also as a source of essential fatty acids that help in the utilization of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Pork is a source of the B vitamins thiamin and niacin needed for normal digestion and nervous system. It is also a source of minerals such as iron (especially the liver) and phosphorous. One hundred grams edible portion of lean pork has about 17 grams protein and about 19 grams fat. Loin chop or pork chop has a high fat content of about 50 grams per 100 grams edible portion and about 10 grams protein. – Cris Abiva
