What is this food?
AI-assisted
Golden snail (often called “golden kuhol” in some areas) — a small shellfish eaten as a protein. For 100g, it provides about 74 kcal and is a good source of protein with very low fat.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Golden snail can support your daily protein needs for muscle repair and satiety, especially if you’re eating 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks a day. It also has some cholesterol (21 mg per 100g) and sodium (69 mg per 100g), so the overall health impact depends a lot on how it’s cooked (for example, how salty the sauce is). The good news: it has low total fat (0.6 g) and no sugar, but it’s still best to pair it with fiber-rich sides (like vegetables) to help balance your plate.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Keep portions reasonable: use it as a protein side/main, then fill the rest of your plate with vegetables and/or rice in proper portions.
  • Go lighter on salty ingredients (soy sauce, bagoong, patis, seasoning cubes). Taste the sauce first before adding more.
  • Add fiber: pair with garlic + sautéed vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, talong) or serve with a fresh salad.
  • If you’re having it as a snack, keep it small and avoid making it the only food—combine with fruit or veggies for better balance.
