Lamb a healthier way 

Lamb may have saturated fat, but choosing a lean cut means you get less of it. Look for tenderloin, loin chops, or legs.

The way you prepare the meat can also make it a healthier option. Before cooking, trim off as much fat as possible. Don’t fry the meat. It adds more fat and is typically a less-healthy method of cooking. Instead, grill, roast, broil, or bake the meat. Put a rack underneath the meat while cooking to capture fat drippings. This way, the meat does not cook in the fat.

Following these guidelines will allow you to enjoy lamb as part of a health-conscious diet.
