What is this food?
AI-assisted Beef round (a lean cut of beef). It’s mainly a protein food, usually cooked as viand or in stews.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Beef round helps support your body’s needs for protein (important for building and repairing muscles). It also contains fat and saturated fat (2.44 g per 100 g) and cholesterol (47 mg), so it’s best to pair it with plenty of vegetables and choose reasonable portions. Sodium is relatively low here (48 mg per 100 g), but the overall sodium can increase depending on how it’s seasoned or cooked.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - For meals, aim to include a palm-sized portion of beef round, then fill the rest of your plate with non-starchy vegetables and a measured amount of rice or other carbs.
- Cook with less added salt: use garlic, onion, herbs, calamansi, vinegar, and spices for flavor.
- Trim visible fat before cooking, and avoid deep-frying.
- If you’re having it as a main viand, balance it with a side of fresh or cooked veggies (e.g., kangkong, pechay, carrots, broccoli).
- Keep frequency steady across the week—rotate with fish, chicken, eggs, tofu, or legumes.
