What is this food?
AI-assisted
Boiled blue swimming crab (no added fat).
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Crab is a lean protein that helps you feel full and supports muscle maintenance. In a 100 g serving, it has about 98 kcal and ~3.1 g carbohydrates with no sugar, so it fits well as part of a balanced meal. It also provides cholesterol (~118 mg) and sodium (~494 mg), which means it’s best to watch portion size and how salty the cooking method is (especially if you use salted ingredients or broth). It has some saturated fat (~0.24 g) but overall fat is low (~0.9 g), especially since it’s boiled without fat.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Pair crab with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, talong) and a reasonable rice portion for your main meal.
  • For snacks, keep crab to a small serving and combine with veggies or a light soup, so your day stays balanced with 3 meals plus 1–2 snacks.
  • Choose boiled, steamed, or lightly seasoned versions. Go easy on salty sauces (soy, bagoong, patis) to manage sodium.
  • Since it’s still a nutrient-dense food, enjoy it in moderation as part of a varied diet—no food is strictly bad.
