What is this food?
Chevon shoulder (goat meat) is a type of lean-ish meat cut from the shoulder. It’s mainly used as a protein source in meals like ginisa, nilaga, or stews.
Why it matters to health
For every 100 g, it provides about 90 kcal and 2.3 g total fat (with 1.1 g saturated fat), with 0 g carbs and 0 g fiber. The protein helps your body build and repair tissues and keeps you fuller between meals. The main thing to watch is the saturated fat and sodium (about 54 mg per 100 g), especially if the dish is cooked with salty sauces or lots of added salt.
Healthier tips
- Pair it with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, cabbage, sayote, okra) and a carb portion you can measure (rice or root crops) for balanced meals.
- Use more aromatics, less salt: garlic, onion, pepper, bay leaf, and herbs for flavor.
- Choose cooking methods like stewing, simmering, or grilling instead of deep-frying.
- For your daily pattern (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), aim for chevon as part of your main meal protein, then let your snacks be lighter (fruit, yogurt, or nuts in small portions).
- If you’re watching cholesterol or heart health, keep an eye on how often you have goat meat and how it’s prepared (especially with fatty sauces).
