Is Lamb good for Keto diet?
Lamb is an excellent choice for anyone following the ketogenic diet since it’s very high in fat and protein but has no carbs in it. That makes it a great protein to add to your low carb diet.
1 Medium-sized lamb chop contains a whopping 25 grams of fat and 28 grams of protein while containing no carbs. It is also a really cheap cut to buy and cooks beautifully pan-fried, braised or slow-cooked. Source
