Thread: Tesco lean lamb mince

Hi
Looking forward to making the doner kebab and wondered if the tescos lean lamb mince had many syns- I can't for life of me find extra lean lamb mince!!

Xxx

Tesco, Lean Lamb Mince, Less Than 16% Fat, 400g pack, chilled, 100g 3½ 3½ 11

Thanks Hun!

Not sure if that's good ur not

well it's 3.5syns for 1/4 of the pack, so up to you really.

I got extra lean mince from tesco its fresh stuff to cartons for 6quid

I can never, ever, ever find extra lean mince of any description in Tesco - they do actually do it then? Ive got a mega huge 24h Tesco Extra thing.

Me too! Massive tesco extra but all they do is lean lamb mince!

Is that lamb mince though?

I can only ever find lean lamb mince. I even visited a local butcher and asked him for x lean but he said it would cost a fortune ( and they're expensive at the best of times!!)

What percentage of fat would be acceptable to class the lamb mince as extra lean?

Oopsie, I've been eating lean lamb mince thinking it was free.....durr!!! Hasn't affected my losses tho, thank goodness!

Less than 5% fat is considered to be extra lean, I think. That's the figure I use anyway and it seems to have worked OK.

I use less than 5% beef mince, but can't find anything near that in lamb, I think 10% is the lowest I have seen in that, and turkey mince is also 10%

It depends what part of the turkey they use to mince - breast is less than 5% but thigh or other parts are fattier

Oh my daysss i thought any lean mince was free???
