What is this food?
AI-assisted Shrimp (sergestid) — a lean seafood protein. For every 100 g, it has about 78 kcal and 1.3 g total fat, with no carbs and no fiber.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Shrimp is a good option for building meals with protein without adding much carbohydrate, which helps keep your plate balanced (especially for lunch and dinner). It also has some saturated fat (0.34 g per 100 g) and sodium (418 mg per 100 g), so it’s best to watch how it’s cooked—like if it’s in bagoong, salted, or very salty sauces. Everything in moderation works well here: enjoy shrimp regularly, but balance it with vegetables and control the salty seasonings.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Pair shrimp with lots of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, broccoli) and a reasonable serving of rice or other carbs.
- For snacks, you can have shrimp-based dishes in smaller portions (e.g., shrimp salad) instead of frequent salty fried versions.
- Go easy on salty condiments (bagoong, patis, soy sauce). Try using garlic, onion, lemon/calamansi, herbs, and spices for flavor.
- If you’re eating shrimp often, vary your protein sources too (fish, chicken, tofu, eggs) across the week.
- Portion guide: aim for about 1 palm-sized serving of shrimp per meal, then fill the rest of the plate with vegetables and a measured amount of carbs.
