What is this food?
AI-assisted Suckling pork lung (pork, suckling lung) — a protein-rich pork part. Per 100g: about 87 kcal, 2.4g total fat (0.85g saturated fat), 282mg cholesterol, and small carbs (0.6g) with no sugar or fiber.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted This food can help you meet your daily protein needs, which supports body repair and helps keep you full during meals. However, it also has saturated fat and cholesterol, and it can contribute sodium (137mg per 100g). If you eat it often or in big portions, it may make it harder to keep your overall fat and sodium within a healthy range—especially if your other meals are also salty or fatty.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Keep portions small: treat it as a protein side (about 1/4 of your plate) and pair with lots of vegetables.
- Balance your day: since you’ll have 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks, avoid making this the main protein at every meal—rotate with fish, chicken, eggs, tofu, or legumes.
- Go easy on salty cooking: if it’s stewed, grilled, or sautéed, use less salt and watch sauces (soy, bagoong, patis).
- Choose cooking methods that reduce added fat: boil, grill with minimal oil, or use a nonstick pan.
- For a fuller plate: add fiber-rich sides like kangkong, pechay, or mixed veggies to support digestion and help you feel satisfied.
