About Pork, fresh, loin, whole, separable lean and fat, raw

In its raw state, whole pork loin with fat intact registers 198 calories per 100 grams, lower than either roasted version because cooking concentrates nutrients as water is lost. The uncooked cut is 66.9 percent water and provides 19.7 grams of protein and 12.6 grams of fat, including 4.36 grams saturated. Cholesterol is 63 milligrams and potassium 356 milligrams per 100 grams; sodium sits at 50 milligrams and carbohydrate is absent. The raw loin also supplies 18 milligrams of calcium and 0.79 milligrams of iron. These figures shift substantially with cooking, which reduces weight and raises the per-100-gram protein, fat, and mineral concentrations of the finished dish.
