Workout and weight loss on wheels- How healthy is ham?

In terms of healthy it is not one of the best meat options. Ham provides protein, some vitamins, and some minerals but it is high in sodium and fat. Choose extra lean version over regular version, this will save you both fat and calories. Look for varieties that are low in sodium like deli meats, these have increased nutritional value of the food and no nitrates. These varieties of ham are better for you as well. Use lean ham to make a protein-packed sandwich, or chop it into small pieces and add it to your breakfast omelet. Add ham chunks to a pasta salad, or scatter pieces over a tossed green salad.
