What is this food?
AI-assisted
Crab (mud/mangrove crab) — a seafood protein that’s commonly cooked as viand, usually sautéed or stewed with aromatics.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Crab gives you a good amount of protein for muscle repair and satiety. In 100 g, it has about 188 kcal and 5.6 g fat, plus 8.5 g carbohydrates (with 0 g sugar). It also has 1163 mg sodium, so it’s best to watch how salty the dish becomes (especially if you use bagoong, patis, or lots of seasoning). Since it has some fat and carbs, pairing it with vegetables and using reasonable portions helps keep your meals balanced.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • For your 3 meals + 1–2 snacks a day: treat crab as a main protein at lunch or dinner, and keep the rest of the plate mostly vegetables.
  • Because sodium can be high, choose lighter seasoning: use less salty sauces, and add flavor with garlic, onion, ginger, calamansi, and herbs.
  • Balance the plate: add 1–2 cups non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, ampalaya leaves) and a sensible serving of rice if needed.
  • Watch portion size: enjoy crab, but keep it within a reasonable serving so you don’t overdo calories and sodium.
