What is this food?
AI-assisted Clam, lukan (often refers to lukan/lu-kan soup or stew made with clams). It’s a seafood-based dish where clams provide the main protein, usually cooked with broth and other ingredients.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Clams in lukan help support your daily protein needs (about 43 kcal per 100 g and 0.7 g fat), which is useful for building and repairing body tissues. They also add some carbohydrates (about 4 g per 100 g), but the bigger thing to watch is sodium: this version has about 294 mg sodium per 100 g. If you eat it regularly, keep an eye on how salty the broth is and balance it with lower-sodium meals and plenty of water.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - For your 3 meals plus 1–2 snacks a day, treat clam lukan as a protein-centered viand: pair with 1–2 cups of vegetables (like kangkong, pechay, or other non-starchy veggies) and a reasonable serving of rice.
- Ask for or make the broth less salty (use less bagoong/seasoning, and taste before adding more).
- Watch portion size if the soup is served with extra starchy sides (e.g., more rice or noodles).
- If you’re eating it as a snack, keep it smaller and add fruit or veggies on the side for better balance.
