What is this food?
AI-assisted
Moor hen thigh is a type of game bird meat. In a meal, it mainly serves as a protein source (about 100g has ~134 kcal and ~5.9g total fat, with ~1.6g saturated fat).
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Protein helps your body build and repair tissues and supports satiety, which is useful for keeping your 3 meals and 1–2 snacks a day balanced. The thigh cut also has some fat and cholesterol (about 35mg per 100g) and a small amount of sodium (~65mg). Choosing reasonable portions and pairing it with fiber-rich sides (like vegetables and/or rice in proper portions) helps keep your overall diet balanced.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Choose thigh portions that fit your meal: aim for about 1 palm-sized serving for one main meal, then balance with vegetables.
  • Pair with non-starchy veggies (e.g., kangkong, pechay, ampalaya) and add carbs in a sensible portion (rice or root crops) to round out the meal.
  • When cooking, go for grilling, roasting, or stewing with less added oil; skim excess fat if there’s a lot of rendered fat.
  • If you’re having it as a snack, keep it smaller and avoid making it the main repeated protein every day.
