What is this food?
Beef with chickpeas (canned). It’s a protein-rich viand with chickpeas for fiber and carbs, plus beef for iron and other nutrients.
Why it matters to health
This meal helps you feel full and supports steady energy because it has protein (from beef and chickpeas) and fiber (2.2 g per 100 g). The fiber also helps with regular digestion. It also provides sodium (335 mg per 100 g), so it’s good to watch portions—especially if you eat it often or if you’re also getting sodium from other foods that day. The fat is relatively moderate (3 g per 100 g), but since it’s a mixed dish, pairing it with vegetables and using reasonable serving sizes keeps the meal balanced.
Healthier tips
- For a regular day (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), use this as your main protein at lunch or dinner: about 1/2 to 1 cup depending on your appetite and what else is on your plate.
- Add non-starchy veggies (e.g., kangkong, pechay, carrots, broccoli) to increase volume and fiber without adding too much sodium.
- If it’s canned, drain and rinse the chickpeas (and sauce if possible) to reduce sodium.
- Balance the carbs: serve with 1/2–1 cup cooked rice or swap part of the rice with extra vegetables.
- Since it has some sugar (2.3 g) and sodium, avoid pairing with other salty viands in the same meal.
