What is this food?
Boiled Pork Boston butt (pork shoulder), a protein-rich meat dish. In 100g, it has about 346 kcal and 33.9g total fat (with 11.9g saturated fat), and it’s zero carbs and zero fiber (since it’s meat).
Why it matters to health
Pork Boston butt can help you meet your daily protein needs for muscle repair and satiety. However, it’s also high in fat—especially saturated fat—so frequent large portions may make it harder to keep your overall heart-friendly balance. It’s also low in fiber, so pairing it with vegetables and other fiber-rich foods helps your digestion and keeps your meals more filling. Sodium is relatively low here (57mg per 100g), but the overall sodium can still go up depending on how it’s seasoned or served.
Healthier tips
- Portion first: Aim for about 1 palm-sized serving of pork per meal, especially if you eat pork often.
- Balance the plate: Add 1–2 cups non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, repolyo) and a carb portion (e.g., 1/2–1 cup rice or kamote) depending on your activity.
- Watch the fat: If there’s visible fat, trim it before cooking or serving.
- Use lighter sides: Pair with vinegar-based or tomato-based sauces instead of heavy, creamy, or very fatty toppings.
- Plan your day: With 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks, keep pork to not every meal; rotate with fish, chicken, eggs, tofu, or legumes.
