Nutritional Values per 100g
Standard Serving
1 porție (150g gătită) contains 387 calories.
Best time: Main meal, occasionally - lunch or dinner
Benefits
- ✓Excellent source of complete protein (25g/100g), useful for muscle mass and satiety
- ✓Rich in heme iron, zinc, and vitamin B12 - minerals and vitamins absorbed far better than from plant sources
- ✓Contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in higher amounts than other red meats, especially in pasture-raised lamb
- ✓Distinct taste and tender texture when cooked correctly, popular especially at festive meals (Easter)
Considerations
- !More saturated fat than chicken or turkey - moderate frequency if you're watching cholesterol
- !Calorie-dense when combined with visible fat (roast, leg with skin) - choose leaner cuts (loin, chops) for a lighter option
- !Quality and fat content vary a lot depending on the animal's age and the cut
FitAzi Tip
FitAzi recommends lamb as an occasional variation of animal protein, especially for festive meals, but not as a daily source due to saturated fat. Choose leaner cuts (loin, chops without the fatty rind) and trim visible fat before cooking to significantly reduce calories without sacrificing protein.
