It also provides healthy nutrients from animal protein, but it has some saturated fat (about 1.96 g per 100 g) and cholesterol (about 47 mg). Sodium is relatively low (about 61 mg), which is good if you\u2019re mindful of salt in cooking. Since it\u2019s 0 g carbs and 0 g fiber, it works best when paired with vegetables and whole grains to make your meal balanced.","healthier_tips":["For meals: pair a serving of moor hen breast with 1\u20132 cups non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, ampalaya) plus a carb portion like 1\/2\u20131 cup cooked rice or 1 slice whole-grain bread.","Watch the cooking method: choose grilled, steamed, or lightly saut\u00e9ed with less oil instead of deep-frying.","Balance your day: aim for 3 full meals and 1\u20132 snacks; use this protein at lunch or dinner, and keep snacks mostly fruit or yogurt\/unsweetened options.","Season wisely: since sodium can add up from sauces, go easy on soy sauce, patis, and salty marinades."]},"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\/moor-hen-breast?agent=true"}}}
