Are you getting tired of skinless chicken breast? Well, I know that I am!
I just found this bit of info in my hungrygirl.com newsletter and thought I'd like to share with all of my closest buds here.

People have been calling pork "the other white meat" for quite some time now. And the public is often confused by this statement. Partially because pork has a reputation for being extremely fatty. But the truth of the matter is, that over the past 20 years, due to changes in feeding and breeding techniques, pork is actually 31% leaner than it used to be. (So the next time you hear anyone calling someone a pig, it's not as insulting as it sounds!) And some cuts of pork are actually as lean as skinless chicken. Many have as little as 3-6g of fat per serving. Cuts with the words "loin" or "round" in the name are the leanest. And, you'll be happy to know that pork tenderloin has the same amount of calories per serving as skinless chicken breast (139 for 3 ounces). Go, pork!

I think I'll throw a nice pork tenderloin on the barbie this week!
