Eggs
What is this food?
Egg, ant (egg-based dish/ingredient). It’s an egg protein food, usually served as a viand or mixed into a dish.
Why it matters to health
Eggs help support your daily needs because they provide protein for muscle repair and satiety. This version also has some carbohydrates and fat, plus sodium (about 45 mg per 100 g), which matters if you’re also eating salty viands and processed foods in the day. With around 124 kcal per 100 g and 3.8 g fat, it can fit well in a balanced meal when portion size is right.
Healthier tips
- Pair it with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, talong, okra) and a reasonable rice portion so your plate is balanced.
- If it’s cooked with lots of oil or salty sauces, use less oil and choose lighter seasoning to keep sodium in check.
- For your daily pattern (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), consider eggs as part of breakfast or lunch, and keep the rest of the day’s snacks mostly fruit or yogurt (not another heavy, salty viand).
- Aim for a serving that feels filling but not too heavy—often 1–2 eggs depending on the rest of the meal.
