What is this food?
AI-assisted Snipe is a type of lean game meat (bird meat). In this context, it’s a protein-rich food with very little carbohydrates.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Why it’s good: Snipe provides protein, which helps build and repair body tissues and supports steady energy between meals. It also has low carbs, so it fits well with a balanced Filipino plate (rice + ulam + gulay).
What to watch: It has some saturated fat (0.93 g per 100 g) and cholesterol (62 mg), and it can contribute to sodium depending on how it’s cooked (here: 43 mg per 100 g). Pairing it with vegetables and keeping the serving size right helps you get the benefits without overdoing the fat and sodium.

Healthier tips
AI-assisted - For your 3 full meals + 1–2 snacks day: treat snipe as your ulam/protein at lunch or dinner, and keep rice to a reasonable portion.
- Choose cooking methods like ginisa with minimal oil, stew, or grilled instead of deep-frying.
- Boost the plate with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, ampalaya, okra) to add fiber and help you feel full.
- Go easy on salty seasonings (toyo, patis, bagoong, extra salt). If using, start with a smaller amount and adjust to taste.
- If you’re eating snipe regularly, rotate with other proteins like fish, chicken, eggs, and tofu.
