It also has high total fat (31.2 g per 100 g) and saturated fat (11.4 g per 100 g), so it\u2019s best to balance it with lighter foods. It has low carbohydrates (2.9 g) and very little fiber (0 g), so pairing with vegetables, fruits, and whole grains helps your meals feel more complete. Sodium is relatively low (102 mg per 100 g), which is helpful when you\u2019re also mindful of salt from other ingredients. Since it\u2019s nutrient-dense, it can fit well in a day\u2019s eating pattern\u2014just keep portions reasonable and spread it across your meals.","healthier_tips":["Use a smaller portion of yolk (for example, 1 yolk) and pair with egg whites or other lean proteins if you want more protein with less saturated fat.","Build a balanced plate: add non-starchy vegetables (e.g., ampalaya, kangkong, pechay) and a carb you can control (rice in proper serving size, or whole grains).","For snacks, choose yolk\/egg dishes less often than your usual meals\u2014aim for 3 full meals plus 1\u20132 snacks with variety.","Cook with less added oil (boil, steam, or lightly saut\u00e9) to avoid extra fat.","If you have high cholesterol or heart risk, talk with your doctor\/dietitian about your ideal egg intake and portion size."]},"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\/egg-duck-fertilized-yolk?agent=true"}}}
