What is this food?
Beef sirloin, boiled. It’s a leaner cut of beef cooked in water, mainly providing protein with little to no carbohydrates.
Why it matters to health
Protein for muscle and satiety: With about 106 kcal per 100g and very low carbs, boiled beef sirloin helps keep you full and supports muscle maintenance, especially when you eat it as part of your 3 meals plus 1–2 snacks a day. Healthy fats, but watch the type: It has 3.6g total fat and 1.11g saturated fat per 100g, plus cholesterol (49mg). This is why portion size matters—pair it with fiber-rich foods (like vegetables and fruits) to balance your plate. Sodium is low here: At 39mg sodium per 100g, boiled preparation is generally a good choice compared with heavily seasoned or processed meats.
Healthier tips
- Portion: Aim for about 1 palm-sized serving of beef per meal (adjust based on your appetite and activity).
- Build a balanced plate: Pair with 1–2 cups of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, kangkong, broccoli) and 1/2–1 cup rice or other carbs depending on your needs.
- Flavor smart: Use herbs, garlic, onion, calamansi, and pepper; go easy on salty sauces.
- Choose often, not always: Rotate with fish, chicken (skinless), tofu, and beans for variety in nutrients.
