That is because it has less than 10 grams of fat and less saturated fats and cholesterol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In lean cuts of lamb, 40% of the fat is monounsaturated, which interestingly enough, is the same type of fat in olive oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A mere 3 ounces of lamb meat is enough to provide 5 times the omega-3 fatty acids and alpha linoleic acid in an equal portion of beef. In fact, this portion of lamb meets the daily fact and cholesterol recommendations of the <a href=\"https:\/\/health.gov\/dietaryguidelines\/2015\/guidelines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dietary Guidelines for Americans<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eating 3 ounces of lean meat a day can reduce overeating and provide longer periods of felling full, which assists greatly with weight loss plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Are you thumbing through a wide selection of meaty options for your upcoming event or special occasion?<\/strong> <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/contact.php\" target=\"_blank\">Contact Food for Thought Catering<\/a> at 678-340-0510 for customized <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">catering in Peachtree City, Georgia<\/a> for <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/events-we-cater\/corporate-events.php\" target=\"_blank\">corporate events<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/events-we-cater\/social-events.php\" target=\"_blank\">social events<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fftcaters.com\/events-we-cater\/weddings.php\" target=\"_blank\">wedding events<\/a>, and more.
