What is this food?
Beef sirloin, broiled. It’s a leaner cut of beef cooked with dry heat (broiled), so it’s mainly a protein food with little to no carbs.
Why it matters to health
This helps you build and maintain muscle and keeps you full between meals—great for your 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks a day. For nutrients: it has 5.5 g total fat with 2.1 g saturated fat and 50 mg cholesterol, so it’s best to pair it with plenty of vegetables and choose reasonable portions. It’s also low in carbs and fiber (0 g), so it works best when combined with fiber-rich sides like vegetables or whole grains. Sodium is relatively low at 41 mg per 100 g, which is helpful for everyday eating.
Healthier tips
- Serve with 1–2 cups of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, broccoli, salad) to add fiber and vitamins.
- Pair with a smart carb if you need energy: 1/2–1 cup cooked brown rice, or a small serving of kamote or whole-grain bread.
- Keep portion size in mind: aim for about palm-sized beef per meal (adjust based on your appetite and activity).
- Flavor with herbs, garlic, calamansi, vinegar, or spices instead of heavy sauces to keep meals balanced.
