What is this food?
AI-assisted
Sausage / chorizo (Bilbao style) — a processed meat product. It’s mainly used as a protein topping or main viand, often paired with rice, bread, or eggs.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Per 100g, it’s high in total fat (about 40g) and saturated fat (about 14.8g), plus cholesterol (about 128mg). It’s also very high in sodium (about 1265mg), which can be a concern if you eat it often. The good part: it provides protein, but because it’s processed and salty, it’s best to keep portions and frequency balanced so your meals stay heart-friendly.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • For your 3 meals + 1–2 snacks a day, treat chorizo as a small add-on (e.g., a few slices or 1/4 cup cooked) rather than the whole viand.
  • Balance the plate: add more non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, kangkong, broccoli, carrots) and pair with moderate rice or swap with whole grains when available.
  • Boost fiber: include a serving of fruit in the day and choose veggies at meals to help with overall fullness.
  • Watch the sodium: avoid pairing with other salty items (e.g., instant noodles, processed cheese, salted egg) in the same meal.
  • If you’re having it for breakfast (like with eggs), keep the chorizo portion smaller and add veggies to the meal.
