What is this food?
AI-assisted Tomato (fresh). It’s a low-calorie vegetable/fruit used in many Filipino ulam and toppings.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Tomato helps support everyday health because it’s low in calories and provides dietary fiber (about 0.3 g per 100 g) for better digestion and fuller meals. It also brings natural sweetness (sugar about 3.7 g) and small amounts of fat with very low saturated fat. Sodium is also low (about 11 mg), which is helpful when you’re building meals that aren’t too salty. If you’re watching carbs or sugar, tomato is still a good choice since the carbs are moderate and comes with fiber.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Add tomato to your 3 full meals (e.g., as part of sinigang, ginisang gulay, or as a side salad).
- For snacks, you can pair tomato with protein like boiled egg or tuna (instead of just crackers).
- Go for fresh or lightly cooked tomato when possible; if using canned tomato sauce, check the label for added sugar and sodium.
- Balance your plate: aim for 1/2 vegetables (including tomato), 1/4 protein, and 1/4 rice or starchy food.
Common Filipino dishes
Sinigang, Ginataang gulay, Tinola, Ginisang kamatis (with egg or fish), Bulalo with tomato-based broth
