Pork Ribs?

Thread Starter  

Are they 'bad'?

I have wanted to try making my own greek ribs, and finally did a couple weeks ago. I'm in love, and am eating them alot. I can't really find anything on the nutritional value, and what I do find, I don't know if 6oz includes how much they weigh with the bone-in, and if so, how the heck am I supposed to know how much meat I'm getting off of them?

As a general rule, are they very high in calories and/or fat, and no the best meat choice? Should I stay away? :(

I make a mean pork rib in my slow cooker---and they rock

Look...meat is meat..and we need the protein---just don't chase the ribs with "tater salad" Ha Ha

two oz. of MEAT, trimmed of fat, bone etc.. I'd figure on 2 -3 "Ribs" would be enough...

They are a cut of meat HIGH in fat, but if you are only eating them occassionally then go for it.

Its like PRIME RIB steak vs. SIRLOIN steak, Big differnce in the FAT content...

You just have to make a judgement call...
Plus perhaps after WLS Fatty foods might be more difficult to digest...

guess you won't know until you try


IT"S QUANTITY that rules us now, not deprivation
