It also has cholesterol (about 52 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (about 3.5 g per 100 g), which can add up if portions are big or eaten too often. The good part: it has 0 g carbs and 0 g fiber, so pairing it with vegetables and whole grains helps balance your plate. Sodium is relatively low here (about 76 mg per 100 g), but the overall sodium can change depending on how it\u2019s cooked (e.g., with salty sauces).","healthier_tips":["For your 3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks daily routine, use lamb flank as your protein portion and keep the serving size reasonable (about 1 palm-sized portion per meal).","Build a balanced plate: add non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, okra, broccoli) and a carb source like brown rice, kamote, or whole grain bread.","Choose cooking methods that use less added fat: grill, roast, or stew with less oil. If using sauces, go lighter on salty condiments.","If you\u2019re eating it more than once a week, balance the rest of the week with other proteins like fish, eggs, tofu, or chicken."]},"data_quality":{"source":"DOST-FNRI Philippine Food Composition Tables","source_code":"ph_fct","daily_values_reference":"RENI 2002","notes":["Values are estimates per 100g edible portion.","Actual nutrients may vary by preparation and variety."]},"links":{"self":"https:\/\/api.juanutrisyon.info\/api\/foods\/lamb-flank?agent=true"}}}
