What is this food?
AI-assisted Chevon shank is a cut of goat meat (from the leg/shank area). It’s mainly a protein-rich food with very little carbohydrates.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted For everyday meals, chevon shank helps support muscle repair and keeps you full because it’s mostly protein. It also has some saturated fat (about 0.52 g per 100 g) and a small amount of sodium (about 53 mg). Since it’s low in carbs and fiber, it works best when paired with vegetables and high-fiber sides (like sayote, pechay, or brown rice) so your plate is more balanced.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - For your 3 meals + 1–2 snacks a day, use chevon shank as your protein portion (about 1 palm-sized serving per meal).
- Pair it with non-starchy veggies (e.g., kangkong, pechay, ampalaya) and a fiber source (e.g., brown rice, kamote, or whole grains).
- When cooking, go easy on salty sauces and broth; add flavor with garlic, onion, herbs, and spices instead.
- If you’re braising or stewing, skim off excess oil if the dish has a lot of fat.
