Concomitant use of iron 400 mg as ferrous gluconate yielded a mean zinc absorption of 22.9% +/- 6.4% of the zinc dose. No adequate or well-controlled human studies have evaluated the use of sodium ferric gluconate complex; ferric pyrophosphate citrate in pregnancy.
A 3-ounce portion of broiled or grilled pork tenderloin has fewer than 125 calories and about 60 milligrams of cholesterol, according to the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference. Chicken is slightly higher in calories and cholesterol.
Then they're deep-fried. Why they're not: A 1-ounce serving contains zero carbohydrates, 17 grams (g) of protein, and 9 g fat. That's nine times the protein and less fat than you'll find in a serving of carb-packed potato chips. Even better, 43 percent of a pork rind's fat is unsaturated, and most of that is oleic acidâthe same healthy fat found in olive oil. Another 13 percent of its fat content is stearic acid, a type of saturated fat that's considered harmless, because it doesn't raise cholesterol levels. Eat this: J&J Critters Microwave Pork Rinds ($6.50 for a 10-ounce container; microwaveporkrinds.com). Because the rinds are cooked and puffed in a microwave instead of deep-fried, each serving contains only 4 g fatâmeaning they're lower in calories and less greasy than regular pork rinds.
