What is this food?
AI-assisted Shrimp (freshwater) — a lean protein food. In 100g, it has about 93 kcal and almost no carbs or sugar, with around 1.7g total fat (0.44g saturated fat) and 235mg sodium.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Shrimp helps support your daily protein needs for muscle repair and satiety, especially helpful for your 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks routine. It’s also low in carbs and sugar, so it can fit well when you’re balancing rice and other starchy foods. Health note: shrimp has some sodium (235mg per 100g) and a small amount of saturated fat, so it’s best to pair it with lots of vegetables and avoid making it salty (e.g., heavy bagoong, very salty sauces).
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Keep portions balanced: aim for about 1 palm-sized serving of shrimp per meal, then fill the rest of the plate with vegetables and a reasonable amount of rice or other carbs.
- Go easy on salt: choose lighter seasoning, use herbs/garlic/lemon, and watch salty sauces.
- Cook in healthier ways: boil, steam, grill, or stir-fry with minimal oil.
- Add fiber and color: pair with non-starchy veggies (e.g., pechay, kangkong, ampalaya, carrots, tomatoes) to make the meal more filling.
- If you snack, don’t stack seafood with other high-sodium snacks—choose fruit or unsalted nuts instead.
