What is this food?
Carabeef with fat, boiled (100g). It’s a protein-rich beef dish where the fat is included, so it’s more filling and has a bit more fat than lean cuts.
Why it matters to health
Carabeef provides protein to help build and maintain muscles, especially helpful across your 3 full meals and 1–2 snacks per day. In this version, there’s about 4.4g total fat per 100g, which adds taste and satiety. It’s also relatively low in carbs and fiber (0g carbs, 0g fiber), so it won’t add much energy from starch. Sodium is 48mg per 100g—usually not high, but it can add up depending on how the broth or seasoning is prepared.
Healthier tips
- Choose a balanced plate: pair with lots of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, kangkong, cabbage) and a sensible portion of rice if you eat it.
- For a healthier version, trim visible fat when possible, or mix with leaner cuts while keeping the boiled method.
- Watch portions: aim for about 1 palm-sized serving of meat per meal, then fill the rest with vegetables and (if needed) carbs.
- If you’re having it as a snack, keep it smaller and add veggies or a light broth to stay satisfied.
- Since it has no fiber, make sure your meal includes vegetables and/or fruit to support digestion.
