Is pork meat fatty?
Today’s pig is bred and fed by farmers to produce lean meat. Some cuts of pork are so low in fat that they have been accepted by The Heart Foundation to carry the ‘pick the tick’. The good thing about the pork fat present is that around half of it is monounsaturated. Trimming of visible fat before cooking is an effective way to further reduce fat intake. People following weight reduction regimes can safely include pork in their diet plan, choosing grilling, baking or low-fat casserole cooking with little of no extra fat.
