However, based on the nutrient data, it\u2019s also high in total fat (28.6g per 100g) and saturated fat (7.9g), and it contains cholesterol (108mg). It\u2019s also a low-carb food (0g carbs, 0g fiber), so it won\u2019t provide fiber for digestion. Sodium is relatively low in this data (68mg), but the overall sodium can still go up depending on how it\u2019s seasoned and cooked. Everything in moderation\u2014pair it with fiber-rich sides to balance the meal.","healthier_tips":["For your 3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks routine, treat chicken neck as a protein option but keep portions reasonable (e.g., a smaller serving compared with leaner chicken parts).","Pair it with non-starchy vegetables (like pechay, cabbage, kangkong, okra) and\/or fiber-rich carbs (like brown rice, kamote, or whole-grain options) to support digestion and fullness.","When cooking, go easy on salty seasonings (soy sauce, patis, bouillon cubes). Use herbs, garlic, onion, pepper, and vinegar for flavor.","If you\u2019re watching saturated fat, consider mixing it with leaner cuts (e.g., chicken breast or thigh without skin) in the same dish.","Enjoy it more often as part of a balanced meal rather than as a frequent \u201cmain\u201d every day."]},"data_quality":{"source":"DOST-FNRI Philippine Food Composition Tables","source_code":"ph_fct","daily_values_reference":"RENI 2002","notes":["Values are estimates per 100g edible portion.","Actual nutrients may vary by preparation and variety."]},"links":{"self":"https:\/\/api.juanutrisyon.info\/api\/foods\/chicken-neck?agent=true"}}}
