Rump roast is considered a lean cut overall, it doesn't have a ton of marbling that some cuts have. This makes it lower in fat, but also means it can be tougher if not cooked properly. Still a healthy choice for sure, especially if you're watching fat intake. Just be sure to use a slow cooking method like braising or crockpot cooking to keep it nice and tender.

Rump roast is generally considered to be on the leaner side, containing less fat compared to cuts like ribeye or chuck roast. However, it may still have some marbling and fat cap, which can contribute to its flavor and juiciness when cooked properly.
