Eggs
What is this food?
This is fertilized duck egg (white)—a type of egg used as a protein food. It’s usually cooked (boiled, fried, or used in dishes) and eaten as part of meals or snacks.
Why it matters to health
Duck egg provides protein to help build and maintain muscles and keep you full. It also has fat (including saturated fat) and sodium, so your overall intake matters—especially if you eat salty or oily foods often. It has some carbohydrates and sugar, but the main role is still protein. For a balanced day (3 full meals + 1–2 snacks), duck egg can fit well when portion and frequency are considered.
Healthier tips
- Choose a smaller portion for snacks (e.g., 1 egg) and keep the rest of the plate balanced with vegetables and rice or bread in proper serving size.
- Use less oil when cooking (boil, steam, or use minimal oil for frying).
- If you’re watching sodium, avoid pairing it with very salty sauces (e.g., maraming patis/soy-based dips).
- To keep meals balanced, pair with fiber-rich sides like sayote, pechay, kangkong, or mixed vegetables.
- Enjoy it regularly but not every day if you also eat other high-fat/salty foods—spread it out across the week.
