What is this food?
AI-assisted
Carabeef lung is an organ meat (from the carabao) that’s mainly used as a protein-rich viand. Per 100g, it has about 87 kcal and provides very little carbs and fiber.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
It’s a good option when you need protein for building and repairing body tissues. It also contains cholesterol (about 136 mg per 100g) and saturated fat (about 0.48 g), plus sodium (about 200 mg), so it’s best to balance it within your day’s meals. Since it has no carbs, sugar, and fiber, pair it with vegetables and other fiber-rich foods so your plate stays balanced (especially for digestion and steady energy).
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Keep portions reasonable: use organ meat as part of your protein, not the only protein for the whole day.
  • Pair with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, kangkong, ampalaya, carrots) and add fiber from brown rice, oats, or vegetables if you’re having rice.
  • Go easy on salty sauces: reduce added salt and choose lighter seasonings when possible.
  • For a typical day (3 full meals + 1–2 snacks), include lung in one meal, then choose other protein sources (fish, chicken, tofu, eggs, beans) in the other meals to vary nutrients.
