Organ meats can be a good source of protein, which helps with muscle repair and keeping you full.

Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Enjoy it as a protein part of your meal, not the whole plate.
  • Pair with vegetables (e.g., atchara, ensaladang gulay, kangkong, or mixed veggies) to add fiber.
  • Choose grilled or boiled versions when possible, and go easy on salty sauces.
  • For your daily pattern (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), keep it to a small serving during meals and balance the rest of the plate with rice (if you eat rice), veggies, and a lighter side.
  • If you’re monitoring sodium, limit extra dipping sauces and seasonings.
