Protein synthesis plateaus at 1.6 g/kg/day. More adds little (Morton et al., Br J Sports Med 2018). Per 100 g lamb: 217 kcal, 26 g protein, 12 g fat. A standard lamb chop is ~100–120 g bone-in — edible meat is about 70%.
How should I track Lamb Leg, roasted?
Lamb Leg, roasted is high in zinc. The simplest way to track Lamb Leg, roasted accurately is to weigh it raw, before cooking. According to USDA cooking yield data, meat loses 20–30% of its weight during cooking as moisture evaporates — so 150 g raw becomes roughly 105–120 g cooked. If you log the cooked weight using raw nutrition values, you will undercount your protein and calories. A kitchen scale takes the guesswork out of it. Quick tip: cook a batch, weigh it before and after, and you will know your personal shrink ratio for next time.
