What is this food?
Rabbit thigh is a type of lean meat. In a 100g serving, it provides protein with very little carbohydrates and fiber, plus some fat and cholesterol.
Why it matters to health
Rabbit thigh can support your daily meals because it’s a good source of protein for muscle repair and keeping you full. It has low carbs (0g), so it fits well with balanced Filipino meals like rice + ulam. However, it also has some saturated fat (0.66g per 100g) and cholesterol (50mg per 100g), so it’s best to pair it with lots of vegetables and keep portions reasonable—especially if you’re watching heart health or cholesterol. Sodium is relatively low (41mg per 100g), but the way it’s cooked (like salty sauces) can change the sodium a lot.
Healthier tips
- Serve it with at least 1–2 cups of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, kangkong, ampalaya, carrots) to balance the meal.
- Use cooking methods like boiling, grilling, or stewing with less oil; avoid heavy frying.
- If you’re eating rice, try 1/2 to 1 cup cooked rice per meal, then fill the rest of the plate with ulam + vegetables.
- Watch salty add-ons (soy sauce, patis, broth cubes). Taste first before adding more.
- For snacks, keep it simple: fruit or unsweetened yogurt, so your protein meal stays balanced across the day.
