Preparation
Ground pork is 263 kcal per 100 g raw with 21.2 g of fat — close to 80% lean beef at 254, and nothing like the tenderloin the same animal supplies at 109. Mince is made from mixed and fatty cuts, so the name of the animal tells you very little; the fat content does. Browning takes this to 297 per 100 g as water leaves, with some fat rendered into the pan.
Logging this food
A 4 oz portion is 113 g raw and 298 kcal. Weigh the packet: once pork mince is in a ragù, a dumpling filling or a meatball mix it cannot be weighed again meaningfully. Sausage meat is not this row — it carries rusk, salt and often more fat again, and belongs on its own line whatever the packet calls it.
Swaps and alternatives
Raw 95% lean beef is 137 kcal per 100 g against this row's 263, and raw ground chicken 143. Within pork, tenderloin minced at home would land near 109. Draining after browning helps, but with 21.2 g of fat per 100 g there is a great deal to drain and no way to know how much actually left.
