Lean meat is meat with most of its fat trimmed off. In Urdu, kam charbi wala gosht. At Nizami Farms lean is also weighed after cleaning, so the weight you order is the weight of meat you get.

Why lean costs more per kilo
Regular is weighed before the fat and trimmings come off, so part of what you pay for is cut away in your kitchen. Lean is weighed after, so all of it is meat. That's why the same cut costs more per kilo as lean: the trimmings are already gone.
Which to pick
Lean for roasts, BBQ and anything where you'd trim the fat anyway. Regular when you want some fat in a slow-cooked salan, or the lower price per kilo.
Lean is about fat, not bone. A lean chop still has its bone; the fat around it is trimmed.
