What is this food?
AI-assisted Duck gizzard is the muscular part of the duck’s stomach. It’s a lean-ish protein food (about 108 kcal per 100g) with very little carbs and fiber.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Duck gizzard is useful for building and repairing body tissues because it’s mainly protein and has no carbohydrates. It also has some fat (about 2.2g per 100g), so it can fit well in meals, especially if you balance it with vegetables and rice or other carbs. It’s also noted for sodium (about 84mg per 100g), so it’s best to keep the overall seasoning and salty sauces in check—especially if you eat it often.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Pair it with lots of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, kangkong, carrots, bell peppers) to add fiber and volume to your meal.
- Use a smaller portion of gizzard if it’s cooked with salty ingredients (soy sauce, patis, bagoong, broth). Aim for a balanced plate: 1/2 veggies, 1/4 rice, 1/4 protein.
- For your daily pattern (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), keep gizzard as part of a main meal, not a frequent snack.
- Choose cooking methods like sautéing, stewing with less added salt, or grilling, and go easy on extra salty sauces.
