What is this food?
AI-assisted Pork Afritada (about 100g) is a Filipino stew made with pork cooked in a tomato-based sauce, usually with vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and bell peppers.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted This dish is a good source of protein from pork, which helps keep you full and supports muscle maintenance. It also has fiber (about 1.3g per 100g) from the vegetables, which can help with digestion. On the other hand, it can be higher in fat (about 8.1g) and sodium (about 248mg), so portion size matters—especially if you also have salty viands, instant noodles, or processed foods in your day. The carbs are relatively moderate (about 6.3g), but the sauce and added starchy vegetables can increase your total carbs depending on the recipe.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - For your 3 meals plus 1–2 snacks a day, keep afritada as your main viand and pair it with 1/2–1 cup cooked rice (or swap part of rice with extra vegetables).
- Ask for or prepare it with more vegetables and slightly less potatoes, so you get more fiber with fewer extra carbs.
- Choose leaner pork cuts when possible, and avoid adding extra oil.
- Balance the meal: add a fresh vegetable side (like atchara or ensaladang gulay) and include fruit in your day for better overall nutrients.
- If you’re watching salt, taste the sauce first and go easy on added seasoning (especially if the recipe uses salty ingredients).
