What is this food?
Carabeef with fat (about 100g serving). It’s a type of beef from carabao, and this version includes some visible fat, so it’s mainly a protein-rich food with a bit of added fat.
Why it matters to health
This food helps because it provides protein to support muscle repair and keep you full between meals. In your data, it has 3.6g total fat per 100g and 56mg sodium, with 0g carbs and 0g fiber. Since it has no fiber, it works best when paired with vegetables and/or whole grains. Also, because it includes fat, keeping portions balanced helps you manage your overall fat intake while still enjoying the taste.
Healthier tips
- Pair it with 1–2 cups of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, broccoli, okra) plus a serving of rice or carbs if needed for energy.
- Choose a leaner cut or trim excess fat when possible, especially if you’re having carabeef more than once a week.
- For a typical day (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), keep carabeef as your protein portion at meals, then balance the rest of the plate with fiber-rich sides.
- If the dish is salty (like with soy sauce or patis), go lighter on the sauce and add more herbs/acid (calamansi, vinegar) for flavor.
