Fat Content Comparison
Beef and pork vary widely in fat content. A 4 oz. serving of beef provides 11 g of fat, with 4.5 g of saturated fat, while a 4 oz. serving of pork contains 4.5 g of fat, with 1.5 g of saturated fat. If you are following a low-fat diet, pork would be the better choice for you, but you should note that restricting fat may produce a slower rate of weight loss than restricting carbohydrates, according to research from the July 2008 edition of "The New England Journal of Medicine."
