While I wouldn’t say that pork butt is healthy food, it does supply some vital nutrition. Some cuts, like Boston Butt, are a little high in saturated fat, but not all cuts are as fatty. A 3oz serving size contains an average of 230 calories but also B vitamins, zinc, and selenium. It also packs in a little over 20 grams of protein, and it’s low in sodium, with an average of just over 50mg of sodium. Pork butt in moderation can be a reasonable form of protein I just wouldn’t eat it every day.
