Pork Tenderloin calories & macros
143 calories per 100 g · 122 calories per 3 oz (85 g). Pork Tenderloin (roasted, lean only).
Pork tenderloin is the cut that undoes pork's reputation: at 143 calories and 3.5 g of fat per 100 g cooked, it is nutritionally close to chicken breast. It is also easy to overcook, which is the real reason people avoid it — a few minutes too long turns lean into dry. Cooked to 63 °C and rested, it stays juicy at a calorie cost most cuts cannot match.
