% DV refers to how much a single serving of an individually packaged food or supplement contributes nutritionally to your daily diet, based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Generally, having 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low, and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.
Fat Composition
The suggested total fat consumption should be limited to 30% of total energy intake or less. The type of fat consumed should primarily be unsaturated fatty acids, with no more than 10% of total energy intake coming from saturated fatty acids (about 200 calories on a 2000-calorie diet) and no more than 1% of total energy intake coming from trans-fatty acids.

📚 Health Research & Evidence About This Food
Pork is an excellent source of high-quality protein, providing a complete profile of essential amino acids crucial for muscle growth and repair by stimulating muscle protein synthesis and metabolism, according to Nature. It also provides heme iron, predominantly found in animal products and important for preventing iron deficiency and anemia, as noted by the CDC, along with zinc. However, when part of a high-protein animal-based meal, pork was found to be less satiating compared to high-protein legume-based meals, as observed in a randomized study of healthy young men.
