Eggs
What is this food?
This is a meat ball dish with quail eggs, served with sauce (sweet and savory). It’s a protein-forward meal with some carbs and a noticeable amount of fat and sodium.
Why it matters to health
Quail eggs and meat balls provide protein, which helps keep you full and supports muscle repair. The dish also has some carbohydrates and sugar from the sauce, plus about 226 mg sodium per 100 g—so it’s best to watch portions, especially if you’re eating salty viands often in the day. The 13.1 g total fat contributes to satiety, but too much fat in one sitting can make it easier to exceed your daily calorie needs. Fiber is relatively low (0.6 g), so pairing it with vegetables or adding a side of greens helps balance your meal.
Healthier tips
- Keep it as a main viand and pair with 1–2 servings of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, kangkong, lettuce, cucumber) to improve fiber and volume.
- Choose a smaller serving of the sauce, since it adds more sugar and sodium.
- If you’re having this at lunch or dinner, keep your snacks lighter (e.g., fruit or yogurt) so your day stays balanced.
- For a healthier plate: aim for 1/2 plate vegetables, 1/4 protein (meat balls + quail egg), and 1/4 carbs (rice or bread), depending on your needs.
