What is this food?
AI-assisted Clam (kabibi) is a type of shellfish. It’s usually eaten as a viand (often in soup or with garlic) and is a good source of protein.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Clams help support your body’s needs because they provide protein for growth and repair. They also contain some healthy fats, but they can be higher in sodium (921 mg per 100 g) depending on how they’re cooked, and they have cholesterol (50 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (0.31 g). With a balanced diet, clams can fit well—just keep portions and cooking style in mind, especially if you’re having them as a regular snack or viand.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Keep servings reasonable: aim for clams as part of your meal, not the whole plate.
- Watch the salt: if it’s ginisa or in broth, go easy on added salt and use more aromatics (garlic, onions, herbs) for flavor.
- Pair with fiber-rich sides: add vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay) and/or a small serving of brown rice or kamote to balance carbs.
- For your daily pattern (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), clams work best during meals; if you snack, choose lighter options like fruit or yogurt instead.
- If you have high blood pressure or kidney concerns, be extra mindful of sodium and frequency.
