What is this food?
AI-assisted Boiled green mussel (green mussels). It’s a seafood protein served after boiling, with a light taste and tender texture.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Mussels are a good protein option for your meals, helping you feel full and support muscle maintenance. Per 100g, it has low calories (33 kcal) and very little fat (0.4g), though it still has a small amount of saturated fat (0.08g). It also has some carbohydrates (4.3g) but no sugar, and it’s low in fiber (0g). One thing to watch is sodium (92mg per 100g), so it’s best to avoid very salty seasonings and keep sauces in check.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted For your 3 full meals + 1–2 snacks a day, use boiled mussels as a protein add-on to balance your plate. Aim for a serving that fits your meal (for example, pair with 1–2 cups of vegetables and 1/2–1 cup of rice or other carbs, depending on your needs). Choose boiled or lightly cooked mussels, and flavor with herbs, calamansi, garlic, and pepper instead of salty sauces. If you’re having it as a viand, keep the broth/sauce from being overly salty. Since fiber is low, add leafy greens or other non-starchy vegetables on the side.
