For the past few days, I am contemplating if I will buy more of lamb or goat meat because of the upcoming winter here in Japan. Well, only specific stores sell goat and lamb meat here, but it's worth it. Why? Before I show you the benefits of both meats, look. Beef, pork and chicken have a lot of cholesterol and fat within, so I may not burn up calories during the winter. And, both lamb and goat meat have lower fat and a good source of protein for calorie-conscious people like me.
Goat meat(https://www.livestrong.com/article/367559-is-goat-meat-healthy/):
The nutritional
value of goat meat depends primarily on the way it is prepared and how
big the serving size is. A 4 oz. cooked serving of goat meat has 124
calories. There are 2.6 grams of fat, 0.8 grams of saturated fat, 25
grams of protein and 64 mg of cholesterol in this serving.
Goat meat is
lower in fat than chicken, but higher in protein than beef. Goat meat
outshines traditional meat sources in most areas: it's lower in
calories, total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol. The low levels of
saturated fat and cholesterol, combined with its high iron and protein
content, make goat meat a good choice for anyone looking for a healthy
red meat. It's a leaner, healthier choice when compared to equal serving
sizes of chicken, beef and pork.
