What is this food?
Duck, wild, thigh (100g) — a leaner cut of duck meat that’s mainly used as a protein source in meals.
Why it matters to health
This food is mostly protein, which helps build and repair body tissues and supports feeling full between meals. In this 100g serving, it has about 0.8g total fat and 0.27g saturated fat, with 0g carbs and 0g fiber. It also has 36mg sodium, which is relatively low, but the overall sodium can increase depending on how it’s cooked (e.g., with salty sauces or seasoning). Since it has no fiber, it’s best paired with vegetables and other fiber-rich foods for better digestion and more balanced meals.
Healthier tips
- Pair with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, ampalaya, okra) and a fiber source (e.g., brown rice, kamote, or a small serving of whole grains).
- Keep the cooking method lighter: grill, roast, or stew with less added oil.
- Watch the flavoring: if using patis, toyo, bagoong, or salty broth, measure and taste as you go.
- For a typical day (3 full meals + 1–2 snacks), use duck thigh as your protein at meals, and add fruit or yogurt as a snack if you need something lighter.
- Portion guide: aim for about 1 palm-sized serving of meat per meal, then fill the rest of the plate with vegetables and carbs you can sustain.
