Lamb, fat, average, raw

Lamb fat is the fatty tissue from lamb, described here in its raw form with lean meat trimmed away. The figures represent an average across different cuts. It mainly provides fat, with some protein. Per 100g, it contains 52g of fat, including 26g of saturated fat, and 13g of protein, with an energy content of 2135 kJ.

Fat supplies energy and helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins, while protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. The substantial fat and saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their energy or saturated fat intake. These figures apply to raw lamb fat rather than cooked meat.
