About Pork, fresh, loin, whole, separable lean and fat, cooked, roasted

Pork loin roasted with its external fat left intact yields 248 calories per 100 grams, the fat raising energy density above the trimmed cut. It supplies 27.1 grams of protein and 14.6 grams of total fat, of which 5.37 grams is saturated, giving a roughly even split of calories between protein and fat. As muscle meat, it contains no carbohydrate. Cholesterol measures 82 milligrams and potassium 408 milligrams per 100 grams, with modest sodium at 59 milligrams. Roasting drives off moisture, leaving the cooked meat about 57.5 percent water. Retaining the fat cap distinguishes this preparation from the separable-lean version, which carries markedly less fat.
