What is this food?
AI-assisted Lamb shoulder is a cut of lamb meat. In a 100g serving, it’s mainly a protein food, with some fat and very little carbohydrates.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Lamb shoulder helps support muscle repair and growth because it provides protein. It also has saturated fat (about 3.33g per 100g) and sodium (about 64mg per 100g), so it’s best to pair it with plenty of vegetables and choose lighter cooking methods when you can. With no fiber and no carbs, it works best as part of a balanced plate—think rice or carbs on the side, plus vegetables and a smart portion of meat.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Use it as your protein portion: aim for about 1 palm-sized serving per meal, especially if you’re having rice.
- Balance the plate: add 1–2 cups of non-starchy vegetables (like kangkong, pechay, broccoli, or mixed veggies) to improve fiber and fullness.
- Go for less oil cooking (stew, grill, or roast with minimal added fat). If it’s a saucy dish, keep the sauce amount in check.
- If you’re watching sodium, be mindful of salty seasonings (soy sauce, patis, bouillon, or packaged mixes).
- For snacks, you can keep meals steady: 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks—pair lamb meals with fruit or yogurt snacks instead of extra salty or fatty snacks.
