It also provides fats that help carry fat-soluble vitamins. However, per 100 g it\u2019s high in total fat (31 g) and saturated fat (8.62 g), and it has very high cholesterol (1445 mg). It also has some sodium (105 mg) and a small amount of carbs (3.1 g). For health, the key is how often and how much you eat\u2014especially if you also eat other fatty foods in the same day.","healthier_tips":["Use a smaller portion: try 1 yolk (or mix yolk with more egg whites) instead of a large amount.","Balance your plate: pair with non-starchy vegetables (like pechay, kangkong, tomatoes, carrots) and add a reasonable serving of rice or bread only if it fits your meal.","Watch the cooking style: prefer boiled, steamed, or lightly saut\u00e9ed instead of deep-fried or heavily buttered.","Since it\u2019s calorie- and fat-dense, fit it into your day as part of your 3 full meals and keep snacks lighter (e.g., fruit, yogurt, or nuts in small portions).","If you have high cholesterol or heart risk, consider checking with your clinician and choosing more egg whites more often."]},"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-yolk?agent=true"}}}
