As for its nutritious benefits, the numbers don’t lie. A benefit to both the palate and the plate, both pork tenderloin and pork sirloin roast satisfy the American Heart Association’s definition of lean: less than 5 grams of fat, less than 2 grams of saturated fat and less than 480 milligrams of sodium per 100 grams. In fact, today’s pork has 16% less fat and 27% less saturated fat than it did 30 years ago.
