What is this food?
AI-assisted Pork intestine (large), cooked. It’s a protein-rich viand, usually eaten in small portions because it’s also relatively higher in fat for its size.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Per 100 g, it has about 81 kcal, 2.2 g total fat (with 1.0 g saturated fat), 5.6 g carbohydrates, and 39 mg sodium. Since it has some saturated fat and no fiber, it’s best paired with fiber-rich sides (like vegetables) to help balance your meal. If eaten often in large portions, the saturated fat can add up—so it’s more of a “sometimes” viand within your weekly routine, especially if you’re also having other fatty meats.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Keep portions small: treat it as a side protein, not the main bulk of the meal.
- Pair with lots of gulay (e.g., kangkong, pechay, ampalaya, repolyo) and/or legumes if available to add fiber.
- Choose lighter cooking methods when possible (less oil, avoid deep-frying).
- Balance your plate: aim for 1/2 plate vegetables, 1/4 rice, 1/4 protein.
- Because it has some fat, try not to combine it with other fatty viands in the same meal.
- For your daily pattern (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), place this viand in a full meal and keep snacks lighter (fruit, yogurt, or nuts in small amounts).
