What is this food?
Chevon lung (lung from young goat), a type of organ meat that’s mainly used as a protein-rich viand.
Why it matters to health
For a 100g serving, it provides about 93 kcal and 2.1g fat with 1.6g carbohydrates—so it can fit well as part of your meals when you’re building a balanced plate. It also has 169mg sodium, so it’s best to pair it with plenty of vegetables and avoid making it the only “salty” part of the meal. Since it’s a protein source, it helps support muscle repair and keeps you fuller between meals when eaten in proper portions.
Healthier tips
- Serve a reasonable portion (about 1/2 to 1 cup cooked, depending on your appetite and other viands).
- Pair with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, kangkong, broccoli, carrots) and a carb you can control (rice, kamote, or corn) to balance your plate.
- Go lighter on salty seasonings (soy sauce, patis, seasoning cubes) and choose herbs/spices for flavor.
- If you’re having it as a main viand, keep the rest of the meal simple: one rice serving + one or two vegetable dishes.
