OK, they come from different parts of the pig, but is there any nutritional different between them (in terms of protein content etc...)?

Ham and bacon are invented names and so it's really all pork.
Pork = Pig
Ham = thigh of pig
Bacon = side of pig (sliced thinly)
Chop = another part of piggy
Sausage = family of Miss Piggy.
Bacon is the only Kosher one.
Ham and bacon are pork....ham is the rear (rump) that is cured and smoked......the bacon is actually the sides of the pig and is sliced thin....it is also cured and some is smoked, or sugar cured and some is plain sliced pork side.....and by the way pork is pigs
Ham is cured,pork is fresh,bacon is sliced and can be cured or not.All come from the pig.
Pork is pig's meat uncooked, Ham is when the pork is smoked, and bacon is the thinly sliced meat of pork, with its fat portion.
i think it audepends how you cook it,
ham is the preserved [smoked or green/cured] thigh of the pig
bacon is the preserved other parts of the pig [smoked or green] back, middle, streaky [smoked or green belly]
pork is dead pig unsmoked and uncured
I don't know anything about pigs except that they don't sweat.
Bacon is defined as any of certain cuts of meat taken from the sides, belly or back of a pig that is cured and possibly smoked.
Technically, ham is the thigh and buttock of any animal that is slaughtered for meat, but the term is usually restricted to a cut of pork, the haunch of a pig or boar. Although it can be cooked and served fresh, most ham is cured in some fashion. It is a common deli meat.
Pork is the culinary name for meat from pigs. It is one of the most common meats consumed by people.
Ham and bacon are made from fresh pork by curing with salt (pickling) and/or smoking. Shoulders and legs are most commonly cured in this manner for ham whereas streaky and round bacon usually comes from the loin, although it may also come from the side and belly.
hope this has helped you
All three are pork.
The ham and bacon are smoked,
so that might take part of the nutrition away.
I think fresh pork would be a little better but
all pork is really bad unless it's very lean.
I am sorry that I know nothing as I am Kosher and never eat this kind of meat. also I think I am very Lucky because my son in law and his family were advised to stop eating any of the above due to health problems, high blood pressure etc my daughter do not have to cook it.
