Pork earned the nickname as the "other white meat" because producers learned to create pork products that are as low in fat as some cuts of chicken. Lean cuts of pork are a good source of protein and essential nutrients. Just as you would do with beef, the key is to go lean and pay attention to portion sizes. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture MyPlate Guidelines, for daily protein intake, most adults should eat about 5 to 6.5 ounces of protein each day. The serving size of protein for an adult should average about 3.5 ounces, which is about the size of a deck of cards. The bottom line is to keep it lean, and eat small portions. Select fruit sauces as toppings and vegetable dishes for sides.
