📊 Nutrition at a Glance
📏 High Animal Protein
Lamb contains animal protein (about 29g per 100g). The AUA recommends limiting non-dairy animal protein to 3 oz (palm-sized) per meal. Reference guide, not an official standard.
Concentration is what separates this entry from its family: drying, grinding, and juicing pack the oxalate of the whole food into a smaller serving, so concentrated forms usually measure higher than fresh ones of the same base. Lamb ground sits at 0 mg per serving, in line with the rest of the family. Where a recipe allows the fresh form it is generally the lighter pick; where only the concentrated form works, portion size is the lever that keeps the daily budget intact. Related forms in this family: Chop Lamb (0 mg), Leg Lamb (0 mg), Loin chop Lamb (0 mg).
