Measuring pork tenderloin

Both records are pork tenderloin, separable lean and fat. USDA names the cooked one "Pork, fresh, loin, tenderloin, separable lean and fat, cooked, roasted". The records are for plain tenderloin. A tenderloin sold marinated or pre-seasoned may differ, so check its label. Pork loin roasts and chops are other cuts, and chops have their own page. The USDA ARS cooking yield for roasted tenderloin, 80 percent, comes from one sample, so treat it as a rough guide for your own oven.

Common questions

How many calories are in 4 oz of cooked pork tenderloin?

How much does 1 lb of pork tenderloin weigh after roasting?

USDA ARS lists a roasted yield of 80 percent for pork tenderloin, so the cooked piece weighs about that share of the raw weight. It is one sample and varies with the cooking method.
