It also has saturated fat (about 3.33g per 100g) and sodium (about 64mg per 100g), so it\u2019s 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\u2014think rice or carbs on the side, plus vegetables and a smart portion of meat.","healthier_tips":["Use it as your protein portion: aim for about 1 palm-sized serving per meal, especially if you\u2019re having rice.","Balance the plate: add 1\u20132 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\u2019s a saucy dish, keep the sauce amount in check.","If you\u2019re 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\u20132 snacks\u2014pair lamb meals with fruit or yogurt snacks instead of extra salty or fatty snacks."]},"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-shoulder?agent=true"}}}
