Helps Control Weight
A 3-ounce portion of a broiled pork chop has 137 calories. Consuming more calories than you expend leads to weight gain, and choosing lower-calorie options can help you lose weight or prevent weight gain. Lean pork chops are lower in calories than alternatives such as beef or pork ribs or beef T-bone steaks. High-fat foods can be high in calories and lead to weight gain, but a broiled pork chop has only 4 grams of fat compared with 13.5 grams in a T-bone steak.
