What is this food?
Chevon intestine (small), a type of organ meat from goat. It’s mainly used as a protein ingredient in stews, soups, or ginisa-style dishes.
Why it matters to health
This food is a protein-rich option (about 71 kcal per 100 g) that can help support muscle repair and keep you full. It also has some fat (about 3.4 g per 100 g). Since it has no carbohydrates, it fits well with rice or other carbs when you build a balanced plate—just pair it with plenty of vegetables and use a reasonable portion so the overall meal stays balanced.
Healthier tips
- Keep portions around 1/4 to 1/3 cup cooked per meal, then fill the rest of your plate with vegetables and a sensible serving of rice or other carbs.
- Choose cooking methods like sinigang, stew, or ginisa with lots of veggies instead of very oily versions.
- For your daily pattern (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), treat this as part of your protein for one meal, not something to repeat in every meal.
- If you’re watching cholesterol or saturated fat, balance it with leaner proteins (fish, chicken breast, tofu) in other meals.
