What is this food?
AI-assisted Green mussel (mussels), a type of shellfish. In a 100g serving, it’s a protein-rich food with about 166 kcal.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Green mussels can support your daily protein needs for muscle repair and satiety. They also add minerals, and in this serving they come with sodium (528 mg) and fat (7.5 g, with 1.42 g saturated fat). The carbs (11.1 g) are not the main feature, and fiber is low (0 g). Because sodium can add up across meals and snacks, it’s best to balance mussels with lower-sodium sides and keep portions reasonable.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Enjoy mussels as your protein for lunch or dinner (about 1 palm-sized portion cooked), then pair with 1–2 cups of non-starchy vegetables like kangkong, pechay, or talong.
- If the dish is adobo-style, ginataan, or salty, ask for less sauce or go for lighter seasoning to manage sodium.
- Choose cooking methods like boiling, steaming, or lightly sautéed instead of heavy frying.
- For snacks, keep them simple (e.g., fruit or unsweetened yogurt) so your day stays balanced with 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks.
