Pork tenderloin is the chicken breast of the pork world. In fact, it’s even leaner than a boneless, skinless chicken breast, weighing in at only 120 calories, 3 grams of fat and 1 gram of saturated fat per three ounce serving. Still not sold? It’s quick-cooking, has no waste or fat to trim, and can stand up to whatever bold flavors you can throw at it.
