Canadian bacon, cooked, pan-fried vs Pork, oriental style, dehydrated

Canadian bacon, cooked and pan-fried, scores 57 of 100, far above dehydrated oriental-style pork at 14 of 100. The gap is driven by fat and calories: the dehydrated pork carries 62.4 g of fat and 615 calories per 100 g, versus Canadian bacon's 2.78 g fat and 146 calories. Canadian bacon also has more than double the protein, 28.3 g against 11.8 g, though its sodium runs higher, 993 mg versus 685 mg.

Choose Canadian bacon when protein density and moderate calories matter, since it delivers far more protein for less than a quarter of the calories. Choose the dehydrated pork only in situations where its concentrated, shelf-stable form is needed, such as travel food, and portion it carefully given how calorie-dense it is. The dehydration process concentrates both fat and calories dramatically, which explains most of the score gap here.
