Lamb, shoulder, whole, roasted, lean and fat

Roasted whole lamb shoulder is a cut of lamb, with the figures here covering both the lean meat and fat. It mainly provides protein and fat. Per 100g, it contains 25g of protein and 22g of fat, including 10g of saturated fat. It also supplies vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B12, iron and zinc.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. The saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their intake, and eating the fat as well as the lean meat affects the overall fat content.
