Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Pair with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, kangkong, ampalaya) and a small amount of rice or root crops if needed for energy.
- Use lighter seasoning when possible: try less salty broth/sauce, and add flavor with garlic, onion, herbs, calamansi, or vinegar.
- For a typical meal, aim for a palm-sized portion of seafood protein, then fill the rest with vegetables and a sensible serving of carbs.
- If you’re having this as a snack, keep it small and avoid pairing with very salty dips.
