What is this food?
AI-assisted Blue swimming crab (fatty part), a seafood protein. For every 100 g, it has about 86 kcal and 4.4 g total fat, with no carbs and no fiber. It also has high sodium at about 644 mg.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Crab is a good choice when you want a filling protein for your meals—helpful for keeping you satisfied in between your 3 full meals and 1–2 snacks. The fat adds flavor and energy, but since it’s already part of the crab, it’s best to keep portions balanced. Also, crab can be sodium-rich, especially if it’s cooked with salty ingredients (like bagoong, patis, or salted seasonings), so too much regularly may affect blood pressure for some people.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Pair crab with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, talong, okra) to add fiber and help balance your plate.
- Watch the sauce: go lighter on salty dips and seasonings; use herbs, calamansi, and vinegar for flavor.
- Portion guide: aim for about 1 palm-sized serving of crab per meal, then add rice and veggies as needed.
- If you’re having crab as a main ulam, keep your snack lighter (e.g., fruit or yogurt) so your day stays balanced.
- Enjoy it regularly, but keep it within your usual meal rotation—everything in moderation.
