Eggs
What is this food?
AI-assisted
Fertilized duck egg (embryo) — a protein-rich egg where the embryo is already developing. In many places, it’s eaten as a whole boiled or cooked egg.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
This food can help you meet your daily protein needs for growth, repair, and keeping you full. It also has some carbohydrates and sugar, plus fat (including saturated fat) and sodium (69 mg per 100 g). Since it’s not a high-fiber food (0 g fiber), pairing it with vegetables or whole grains can improve overall balance. If you’re watching cholesterol or saturated fat intake, it’s especially helpful to keep portions reasonable and balance it with other nutrient-dense foods.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Pair with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, okra, tomatoes) to add fiber and vitamins.
  • Use it as part of your meal plate: 1 serving of egg/embryo plus rice or carbs in appropriate portion, and vegetables.
  • If you’re having it for a snack, keep it smaller and add fruit or veggies on the side.
  • Choose cooking methods like boiling or steaming; avoid heavy frying to limit extra fat.
  • For sodium, go easy on salty dips or seasonings.
