What is this food?
Beef reticulum, boiled (a type of beef organ meat). It’s a protein-rich viand made by boiling the reticulum until tender.
Why it matters to health
This food helps support your daily protein needs (about 13.4 g fat per 100 g and 167 kcal), which is useful for keeping you full and supporting muscle repair. It also has saturated fat (4.49 g), so it’s best to keep portions reasonable, especially if you’re eating other fatty foods in the same day. Sodium is relatively low (94 mg per 100 g) compared with many processed or heavily seasoned dishes, which makes it easier to fit into meals when you’re mindful of added salt. Since it has no carbs, fiber, or sugar, pair it with vegetables and/or whole grains for better meal balance.
Healthier tips
- For your 3 full meals + 1–2 snacks routine, treat this as a main protein at lunch or dinner, not the only component of your plate.
- Pair it with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, carrots, cabbage) and add a smart carb like brown rice, kamote, or whole-grain bread if you need energy.
- Use light seasoning: flavor with garlic, onions, herbs, and a bit of soy/vinegar instead of heavy salt.
- Choose smaller portions if you’re also eating fatty meats or fried foods that day; balance with leaner options and more veggies.
