9. Pork Chops

Lean pork is an excellent source of protein and B vitamins, especially for those looking to lose weight. One 3-ounce serving contains 54 percent of the daily recommendation of vitamin B1. B1 or thiamine assists in converting carbohydrates to glucose so the body can use them for energy. Pork also has more than a third of the daily recommended niacin, B3, B12, B2, and pyridoxine.
