What is this food?
AI-assisted
Freshwater shrimp (small), cooked. It’s a lean protein source with very low carbs and fiber.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Shrimp helps you meet your daily protein needs for muscle repair and satiety, especially useful for our usual pattern of 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks. In a 100g serving, it has about 98 kcal and almost no carbohydrates, so it fits well with balanced meals. It also has a small amount of fat (about 1.9g) with some saturated fat (about 0.49g) and low sodium (about 21mg), which is generally good—just keep an eye on the sodium if you’re eating it with salty sauces (like bagoong, patis, or very salty seasonings).
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Pair shrimp with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, sitaw, broccoli) and a sensible portion of carbs (rice, kamote, or corn) for balanced energy.
  • Choose cooking methods like boiling, steaming, grilling, or sautéing with minimal oil to keep fat in check.
  • Watch the sauce: go easy on salty condiments and use herbs, calamansi, garlic, and pepper for flavor.
  • For portioning: aim for about 1 palm-sized serving of shrimp per meal, then add vegetables and your preferred carb portion.
