What is this food?
Roasted whole chicken (seasoned), about 100 g. It’s a protein-rich food with some fat and small amounts of carbs.
Why it matters to health
Chicken helps you feel full and supports muscle repair because it’s rich in protein. It also provides cholesterol (122 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (4.07 g) plus sodium (716 mg) from seasoning. These are okay to include, especially as part of balanced meals, but keeping portions and frequency in mind helps support heart health and overall well-being. The carbs are low (4.7 g) and fiber is not present, so pairing with vegetables and whole grains helps round out your plate.
Healthier tips
- For your 3 meals + 1–2 snacks a day, use chicken as your main protein at lunch or dinner.
- Choose leaner portions when possible (more meat, less skin) to reduce saturated fat.
- Balance the plate: add 1–2 cups non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, broccoli, pechay) and 1/2–1 cup rice or other whole grains depending on your appetite and activity.
- Watch the salt: if it’s very flavorful or salty, reduce added salt on the side and pair with fresh or lightly cooked veggies.
- For snacks, you can rotate proteins (e.g., yogurt, eggs, fish) instead of having chicken every day.
