What is this food?
Bread with mung bean loaf (a bread-like loaf made with mung beans). It’s a carbohydrate-based food that also provides some fiber and protein from the mung beans.
Why it matters to health
This food can help you feel full because it has carbohydrates (55.8g per 100g) and dietary fiber (4.4g). The mung beans also contribute some protein, which supports satiety when paired with other foods. However, it’s also relatively high in sugar (26.3g) and sodium (163mg), and it contains fat (8.3g) with saturated fat (4.6g). For everyday health, the key is choosing the right portion and pairing it with balanced meals so your snacks don’t become “too much” sugar or salt in the day.
Healthier tips
- Portion first: Use it as a snack or part of a meal, not the whole plate. Aim for a smaller slice/serving, especially if you already had rice or noodles at the last meal.
- Pair it: Add a protein and fiber side like boiled egg, tuna, chicken, tofu, or a serving of vegetables (e.g., lettuce, cucumber) to balance your plate.
- Watch added sugar: If it’s sweet-tasting, consider having it with plain water or unsweetened drinks instead of sweetened coffee/tea.
- Balance fats: If you spread butter/cheese, use a lighter amount—this loaf already has some saturated fat.
- Snack timing: For a typical day (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), keep this to one snack and choose a lower-sugar snack the other time (like fruit or yogurt).
