What is this food?
Chevon shank is a cut of goat meat (from the leg/shank area). It’s mainly a protein-rich food with very little carbohydrates.
Why it matters to health
For everyday meals, chevon shank helps support muscle repair and keeps you full because it’s mostly protein. It also has some saturated fat (about 0.52 g per 100 g) and a small amount of sodium (about 53 mg). Since it’s low in carbs and fiber, it works best when paired with vegetables and high-fiber sides (like sayote, pechay, or brown rice) so your plate is more balanced.
Healthier tips
- For your 3 meals + 1–2 snacks a day, use chevon shank as your protein portion (about 1 palm-sized serving per meal).
- Pair it with non-starchy veggies (e.g., kangkong, pechay, ampalaya) and a fiber source (e.g., brown rice, kamote, or whole grains).
- When cooking, go easy on salty sauces and broth; add flavor with garlic, onion, herbs, and spices instead.
- If you’re braising or stewing, skim off excess oil if the dish has a lot of fat.
