Pork tenderloin — surprisingly lean, sometimes called 'the chicken breast of pork.'

Same macro profile as chicken breast, different flavor. Easily confused with pork loin (fattier).

Best for

  • cutting or high-protein days — 26g protein / 100g at 143 kcal
  • meals where you want volume of protein without a fat bomb

Watch out

  • restaurant versions that are breaded, sauced, or cooked in oil — the log is for the plain item
  • weighing cooked vs raw without matching the database state

How to log it

Prefer weighing pork tenderloin after cooking if that is how you eat it, or stick to one convention. 4 oz (~113g) is the practical unit in the app.

Where it fits the day

Fits as the protein anchor. Pair with a carb and produce so the plate is not only lean protein and boredom.

Cooked, grilled, fried & breaded

The page numbers are for plain pork tenderloin. Oil, breading, and restaurant sauces change the estimate — typical kcal per 100g:

Butter, cream, glaze, or heavy sauce

These are typical ranges, not lab measurements. Restaurant recipes, oils, and sauces vary — treat them as logging estimates and edit if your plate looks heavier.
