What is this food?
AI-assisted Black snail (snail meat), a small shellfish that’s commonly eaten as a protein source. In 100g, it provides about 79 kcal, with ~0.4g fat and ~6.6g carbohydrates, plus some sodium (~84mg).
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Snail can fit well in a balanced Filipino meal because it adds lean protein to help keep you full and support muscle maintenance. The fat is relatively low, and the sodium is present—so it’s best to watch how it’s cooked (especially if it’s salted, bagoong-based, or heavily seasoned). Since it has very little fiber, pairing it with vegetables and/or whole grains helps round out your meal for better digestion and steadier energy.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Pair snail with lots of non-starchy veggies (e.g., kangkong, pechay, ampalaya, okra) and a measured serving of rice or other carbs.
- Choose cooking methods that use less added salt: try ginger, garlic, herbs, and citrus for flavor.
- For snacks, keep portions smaller and pair with water or unsweetened drinks.
- If you’re eating it often, vary your protein sources (fish, chicken, eggs, tofu) across the week.
- Make sure it’s properly cleaned and cooked to reduce food safety risks.
