What is this food?
AI-assisted Boiled shrimp (greasy back removed), a lean protein food. For every 100 g, it has about 84 kcal and 0.4 g total fat with 0.12 g saturated fat, plus a small amount of carbs (1.9 g), and 94 mg sodium.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Shrimp helps support your daily protein needs for muscle repair and satiety, especially when you eat 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks a day. The low fat and low saturated fat are helpful for keeping your overall fat intake in check. It also has a small amount of carbs and no sugar, so it won’t spike your sugar levels. The main thing to watch is sodium—at 94 mg per 100 g, it’s fine for regular meals, but it’s best to balance it with low-sodium viands and plenty of vegetables.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Pair with non-starchy veggies (e.g., kangkong, pechay, okra) and a sensible carb portion (rice or sweet potato).
- Use light seasoning: go easy on salty sauces (toyo, bagoong, patis) and broth if you’re aiming to manage sodium.
- For a balanced plate: 1/4 shrimp, 1/2 veggies, and 1/4 rice or other carbs.
- If you’re having it as a snack, keep the portion smaller and add crunchy veggies for volume.
