Eggs
What is this food?
Boiled whole egg and chicken (whole, boiled). This is a protein-rich food that provides essential amino acids and also some healthy fats.
Why it matters to health
Why it’s good: With about 166 kcal per 100g and 12g total fat, it helps keep you full and supports muscle repair and growth. The cholesterol (460mg) is higher than plant foods, so it’s best to keep portions consistent. It also has sodium (136mg), which matters if you’re also eating salty viands. Since it has very low carbs (0.6g) and no fiber (0g), pair it with vegetables and/or whole grains so your meals are more balanced. Saturated fat is 3.58g, so choosing reasonable portions most days helps keep your overall fat intake in check.
Healthier tips
- For meals: pair with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., sayote, pechay, kangkong) and a carb source like brown rice, kamote, or whole-grain bread.
- For snacks: keep it smaller (e.g., 1 small boiled egg or a small serving of boiled chicken) and add fruit or veggies for fiber and vitamins.
- Watch the added salt: if you’re eating it with bagoong, soy sauce, or salty dips, use smaller amounts.
- Balance your week: since whole eggs and whole chicken have cholesterol and saturated fat, enjoy them regularly but not in very large portions every day.
- Try a simple plate: 1/2 plate vegetables, 1/4 protein (boiled egg/chicken), 1/4 carbs (rice or root crops).
