Nutrients in Goat Meat
A 3 oz. serving of cooked goat meat contains fewer calories than the same cooked weight of beef, chicken, lamb or pork: 122 calories in goat meat vs. 162 in chicken, 179 in beef, 180 in pork and 175 in lamb.
Goat meat has 2.6 g of total fat, 0.79 g of saturated fat, 63.8 mg of cholesterol and 23 g of protein per 3 oz. serving. It also has relatively high levels of iron compared to its competitors, 3.2 mg per 3 oz. serving vs. 2.9 mg in beef, 2.7 mg in pork, 1.4 mg in lamb and 1.5 mg in chicken. Goat meat is also a rich source of potassium.
Health Benefits
Goat meat provides a leaner protein source than beef, lamb, chicken or pork. This means it is low in saturated fat, the type that increases your LDL cholesterol, and higher in unsaturated fats, the type that helps increase your HDL, or good cholesterol. The American Heart Association recommends you include leaner meats such as goat to help decrease your risk of heart disease, stroke and other serious medical conditions.
Considerations
The lack of fat in goat meat means it needs a low temperature and moisture, such as a marinade, to keep it from drying out or becoming tough during cooking. The meat from goat kids, cabrito and chevon, are good options for recipes that call for stewed, baked or grilled meat. Mature goat meat works well when ground and used in sausage, chili and other processed foods.

Is Goat meat healthy?
ABSOLUTELY!!!. Goat meat is healthier than lamb and is actually as healthy as, if not more than, chicken meat. It has more minerals than chicken and has lower total and saturated fat and cholesterol than chicken. It also has more protiens. Goats do not accumulate fat in their muscles like cows or pigs, and most of the fat is external which can be easily trimmed. The trimmed meat is healther in every respect compared to chicken meat (even skinless chicken meat). Goat meat is actually exceptionally lean and low in fat, compared to any other meat. Goat meat is one of the best source of zinc and iron. It also has B group vitamins including B1, B2, B3, B6 and B12. Vitamin B actually helps to burn fat cells. And to sweeten the deal it has choline and selenium which is known to prevent cancer.
So throw out all the guilt, and enjoy goat meat as the healthiest meat available on the market. Now you understand why goat meat has been so popular over centuries. And remember goat leg has the lowest fat content compared to other parts of the goat. I hope this dispels the nasty lies swirling in your head that red meat is bad and white meat is god-sent.
Fun Fact
Beef has twice the fat content of goat meat, and pork has thrice the amount! Chicken has same fat content, but more calories and saturated fat!
Another fun fact
Intensively farmed meat is full of harmful chemicals (read Beef, Pork and Chicken). Goats can't really be reared intensively and must largely have a natural diet (remember I said earlier they take a lot of effort to grow). You can't just pump a goat full of hormones and end up in the Governor of California. So goat meat is safer and more natural as well.
