What is this food?
AI-assisted
Kalamay with glutinous rice and yam— a sweet Filipino dessert made from sticky rice, yam, and usually coconut-based ingredients, with a naturally sweet profile.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
This food mainly provides carbohydrates (about 41.7 g per 100 g), plus some fiber (about 2.3 g) that can help with fullness and digestion. It also has high sugar (about 27.7 g), so it’s best to enjoy it in smaller portions—especially if you already have rice and other carbs in your meals. It has very low fat in this data (0.3 g) but includes saturated fat (0.26 g), so pairing it with balanced meals (with vegetables and a protein source) helps keep your overall intake more balanced. Sodium is low here (about 8 mg), which is good.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Keep it as a snack or dessert, not a main meal—especially since it’s carb-heavy and sweet.
  • Try a smaller serving (e.g., a few spoonfuls) and pair it with water or unsweetened drinks.
  • Balance your day: if you eat kalamay, consider having less rice at the next meal and add more vegetables and protein (fish, chicken, eggs, tofu).
  • If you make it at home, you can reduce added sweetness (use less sugar or choose naturally sweet yam portions) and add more fiber by including extra yam.
