Eggs
What is this food?
Boiled fertilized duck egg (egg from a duck, boiled). It’s a protein-rich food with small amounts of carbs and very little fiber.
Why it matters to health
Why it’s good: Duck eggs provide protein that helps build and repair body tissues, and they also contain healthy nutrients found in eggs. What to watch: This food is higher in total fat (about 12.4g per 100g) and saturated fat (about 4.54g), and it has high cholesterol (about 726mg per 100g). It also has sodium (about 141mg per 100g) and low fiber, so it’s best paired with fiber-rich foods (like vegetables, fruits, and whole grains) for better overall balance. Since you’ll eat 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks daily, eggs can fit well as part of your protein plan, but portion and frequency matter.
Healthier tips
- Keep portions reasonable: use eggs as a protein add-on (for example, 1 egg per serving) rather than the main portion of every meal.
- Pair with fiber-rich sides: eat with vegetables (e.g., ampalaya, kangkong, pechay) and/or a serving of brown rice or whole grain bread.
- Choose cooking methods that keep it lighter: boiled is a good option; avoid frequent frying.
- Balance the day: if you ate eggs at breakfast, choose a different protein source (like fish, chicken, tofu, or beans) for another meal or snack.
- If you’re watching heart health or cholesterol, consider limiting how often you have duck eggs and focus on variety.
