What is this food?
AI-assisted
Crab (shore crab), a seafood protein commonly cooked as viand or in soups.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Crab helps support your daily protein needs for muscle repair and satiety. In 100g, it has about 122 kcal and 3.8g fat, with 0.78g saturated fat—so it can fit well in meals when portioned. It also has 453mg sodium, which matters if you’re watching blood pressure or if your dish is salty (e.g., with bagoong, patis, or lots of seasoning). It has 8.1g carbohydrates but no sugar and 0g fiber, so pairing it with vegetables and a fiber-rich carb (like brown rice or whole grains) helps make the meal more balanced.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Keep portions reasonable: crab is best as a protein main with a serving size you can repeat across meals (not the whole plate as the only food).
  • Balance the plate: add non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, kangkong, ampalaya, okra) and a fiber-rich carb for your 3 full meals.
  • Go lighter on salty seasonings to manage sodium—taste first before adding bagoong/patis or extra salt.
  • For snacks (1–2/day), choose something simple like fruit or plain yogurt; crab is usually better as part of a full meal.
  • Enjoy it regularly with variety: rotate with other lean proteins (fish, chicken, eggs, tofu) so your intake stays balanced.
