What is this food?
AI-assisted
Carabeef kidney is an organ meat from the carabao. It’s a protein-rich food, typically cooked as viand (often stewed, sautéed, or with spices). Per 100g, it has about 77 kcal and very little carbs.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Kidney provides protein to help build and maintain body tissues and keep you full. It also has cholesterol (about 239 mg per 100g) and saturated fat (about 0.51 g), plus sodium (about 147 mg). These don’t mean you should avoid it—just that portion size and frequency matter, especially if you’re watching cholesterol, heart health, or salt intake. Since it has no fiber, pairing it with vegetables and high-fiber sides helps balance your meal.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Keep portions small: aim for about 2–3 tablespoons to 1/2 cup cooked per meal, then fill the rest of your plate with vegetables and a sensible amount of rice or other carbs.
  • Boost fiber: add leafy greens, sayote, pechay, or mixed vegetables to your ulam.
  • Go easy on salty sauces: limit patis, toyo, and bagoong-heavy flavors; use herbs, garlic, onion, and spices for taste.
  • Balance your day: since you’ll have 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks, place kidney viand in one meal and choose leaner protein or fish/eggs for the other protein servings.
  • Cook methods matter: try stewing, grilling, or sautéing with less oil instead of deep-frying.
