Grilled pork loin chop is a pretty healthy lean meat. Almost comparable to chicken breast.
Here's a good article on pork. Especially the pork loin to chicken breast comparison.

PORK VS. CHICKEN
Pork has been pitched as "the other white meat" since 1987, when chicken, which had a reputation for being low in fat, started to become the more popular choice. Some pig products should definitely be avoided--lard, for example--but pork can do a body good.
Pork tenderloin is actually lower in total fat than a skinless chicken breast (2.98 g vs. 3.03 g). It's also considered an excellent source of several important nutrients: vitamin B12 and the B vitamins thiamine and niacin, all of which help protect against heart attacks and strokes.
Pork is also high in protein, which is important for rebuilding muscle mass after a workout. And a recent study from Purdue University found that people who ate a reduced-calorie diet high in protein--including 6 ounces of lean pork a day--lost only 3.3 pounds of lean muscle mass, while a group that ate a low-protein diet lost 6.2 pounds of lean mass.
The nutrition benefits don't stop there. Pork is also a good source of riboflavin (a B vitamin that helps preserve your vision), zinc (which promotes growth, immunity, wound healing, and appetite control), and potassium (which may help regulate blood pressure and protect against stroke). All the more reason to pile up your plate with the stuff--in moderation, of course.
