Soybeans

What is this food?
AI-assisted Yellow soybean (soybeans), usually cooked or processed (like boiled soybeans, soy-based snacks, or soy products).
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Soybeans are a good plant-based source of protein, which helps your body build and repair tissues and supports steady energy between meals. They also have dietary fiber (4.3 g per 100 g), which can help keep your digestion regular and may help you feel fuller. The carbs are mostly from natural sugars and fiber (3.4 g sugar), so they’re not the same as refined sweets. Sodium can be relatively high (479 mg per 100 g), especially if the soybeans are salted or processed—so it’s best to watch how much you add or choose lower-sodium versions. Overall, soybeans fit well in a balanced Filipino day (3 meals + 1–2 snacks) when portions are just right.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - For meals: use soybeans as a main protein (e.g., add to viand or rice bowls) and keep the portion around 1/2 to 1 cup cooked depending on your needs.
- For snacks: choose unsalted or lightly seasoned soy snacks/boiled soybeans, and pair with fruit or veggies for better balance.
- Balance the plate: include vegetables (half the plate) and carbs (rice, corn, or root crops) in a reasonable amount.
- If you’re watching salt: rinse canned/processed soy products when possible, and avoid adding extra seasoning.
- Enjoy variety: rotate soy with other protein sources like fish, eggs, chicken, tofu, and legumes.
