What it does
For the named reference food, USDA lists 143 kcal, 26.2 g protein and 3.51 g total fat per 100 g edible portion. The table gives additional nutrients for that same food form. These figures describe composition, not an effect on a disease or a recommended serving.
Research context and ingredient forms
Reference food: Pork, fresh, loin, tenderloin, separable lean only, cooked, roasted. These are historical SR Legacy data from the April 2018 release, published in FoodData Central in 2019. A different variety, preparation, water content, or commercial recipe can change the result. For a matching food, a portion estimate scales each value by edible portion grams divided by 100.
Using this information
Tenderloin is one cut, not a general estimate for pork belly, bacon, sausage, or cured ham. Match the cut and preparation before comparing portions.
