What is this food?
Adobong pusit is a Filipino dish where squid (pusit) is cooked in a flavorful sauce usually made with soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and spices. It’s typically served as a main viand and is a good source of protein.
Why it matters to health
Adobong pusit helps you meet your daily protein needs for muscle repair and satiety. It also provides some carbs and a little fiber, which can support better fullness. However, the sodium is quite high (about 905 mg per serving), especially because soy sauce is a major ingredient—too much sodium can affect blood pressure for some people. The dish also has moderate fat (about 9.6 g) with a small amount of saturated fat (about 0.48 g), so it’s best to keep portions balanced. Since it has sugar (about 3.4 g) and carbs (about 10.9 g), pairing it with fiber-rich sides can make your meal more balanced.
Healthier tips
    • Keep the portion to about 1 serving per meal, then balance your plate with 1–2 cups of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, talong) and a reasonable amount of rice.
    • To manage sodium: choose less soy sauce or dilute it with water, and add more vinegar/garlic for flavor.
    • For better balance in your daily eating pattern (3 meals + 1–2 snacks): make adobong pusit your protein main, then add a veggie side and a smart carb portion at lunch or dinner.
    • If you’re watching cholesterol or heart health, limit how often you eat very salty versions of adobo; enjoy it as part of a varied week.
    • Drink water and include fruits or vegetables in your snacks (e.g., banana, apple, carrots) to help reach fiber goals.
