What is this food?
AI-assisted Boiled clam (halaan) — a seafood protein served in broth or plain, usually eaten as part of a meal.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Clams are a good protein choice (about 74 kcal per 100g) that helps you feel full and supports muscle maintenance. They also provide some healthy nutrients, while keeping fat relatively low (total fat ~1.1g, saturated fat ~0.11g). Cholesterol is present (~38mg), so it’s best to pair clams with plenty of vegetables and balance them with other protein sources across the week. Carbs are low (~5.4g) with no sugar and no fiber, so adding veggies or a side of whole grains can improve overall meal quality.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - For your 3 meals + 1–2 snacks daily routine, use clams as your protein for lunch or dinner, aiming for a reasonable serving (e.g., around 1/2 to 1 cup, depending on your appetite and other dishes).
- Pair with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, talong, squash) to add fiber and micronutrients.
- If you’re eating it with rice, keep the rice portion balanced and add more veggies or a lighter side like soup.
- Watch salty broth or seasonings—choose less-salty options when possible.
- Include variety: rotate with fish, chicken, eggs, tofu, or beans so your protein sources are balanced.
