Sport Pork medallions contain more protein than chicken breast?

[JackShephard]

Hi All,

After spending a bit of time researching what my food actually contained, I quickly realized that the online nutrition information sites were off by 30% or more in some instances - ie listing 'generic' chicken breast at 38g/protein per 100g, when in fact Sainsburry, Tesco and Asda's label indicate that their average chicken breast is at around 23g/protein per 100g.

So anyway, in order to really know what I'm eating, I'm going through the Tesco website for nutrition information on their products - since that's were I buy my food.

So far, I found them to be accurate, but I'm struggling with one item:
Finest pork medallion x6


... which list its protein content at 36.6g/per 100g of product - a remarkably high number considering that ALL their other pork-based products rate at 23g average, and even their free range chicken breast doesn't top 23.2.

So - my question is - what am I missing? And should pork medallions top this forums' grocery list?

Cheers,

Cigaro.

many, many chicken breasts out there are injected with a brine or broth/stock solution. it adds some calories, a lotta salt, and noticable water weight to the uncooked chicken breast.

i pay a little more for 'clean' chicken that isn't juiced up with salty chicken broth.
