What is this food?
AI-assisted Cake with butter (a sweet, rich dessert).
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted This cake is energy-dense, with high total fat (about 20.4g per 100g) and saturated fat (about 7.0g). It also has cholesterol (about 96mg) and lots of sugar (about 33.8g), plus carbohydrates (about 51g). It’s not only about calories—too much saturated fat and sugar, especially when eaten often, can make it harder to manage weight and heart health. It also has sodium (about 382mg), which can add up if you pair it with salty foods.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Keep it as an occasional treat, not an everyday snack. If you eat cake, choose a smaller slice (for example, about 1/2 to 1 small serving) and enjoy it after a main meal rather than on an empty stomach.
- Balance your day: for your 3 full meals and 1–2 snacks, make sure the rest of your food is lean protein (fish, chicken, tofu), vegetables, and whole grains (rice in proper portion, oats, brown rice) so your overall intake stays steady.
- Pair cake with water or unsweetened drinks instead of soda/juice to avoid extra sugar.
- If you’re having cake, consider skipping other sweet snacks that day (cookies, candies, sweet drinks).
- For healthier choices, look for options with less frosting or try smaller portions of butter-heavy cakes; fruit-based desserts can be lighter.
