Per 100g, it contains 20g of protein, 7.5g of fat and 618 kJ of energy. These figures refer to the raw meat rather than lamb after cooking.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues, including muscles. Although this lamb has been extra trimmed, it still contains fat, which contributes to its energy content. Cooking can change the amount of water and fat in the meat, so values for cooked lamb may differ. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
