What is this food?
AI-assisted Shrimp (giant tiger prawn) — the edible part of the prawn, usually cooked and eaten as a protein.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Shrimp is a lean protein that helps you feel full and supports muscle repair after meals. In a 100 g serving, it has about 74 kcal, with low fat (around 2.2 g) and very little carbs (about 1.6 g), so it fits well in a balanced plate. It also has sodium (about 101 mg), so if you’re eating shrimp that’s salted, bagoong-based, or heavily seasoned, watch the overall salt across your day.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Build your plate: pair shrimp with 1–2 cups of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, okra) and 1/2–1 cup rice depending on your activity.
- Choose cooking methods like boiled, steamed, grilled, or sautéed with minimal oil.
- If the dish is salty (e.g., garlic butter with lots of sauce, bagoong, or patis-heavy recipes), use a smaller portion of the sauce and add more fresh veggies.
- For daily eating pattern: include shrimp as your protein for one of your full meals, and keep snacks to fruit or yogurt/unsalted nuts if you need extra energy.
