What is this food?
Pork Boston butt, broiled. This is a fatty cut of pork cooked with dry heat (broiled), so it’s mainly a protein food with little to no carbs.
Why it matters to health
For energy and body repair, the protein helps you stay full and supports muscle. But this serving also has higher total fat and saturated fat (16.4 g total fat; 5.9 g saturated fat) and cholesterol (94 mg). It’s also relatively low in carbs and fiber (0 g fiber), so pairing it with vegetables and whole foods is important. Sodium is not very high here (50 mg per 100 g), but your overall sodium can still rise depending on seasoning and sauces. Since it’s a richer meat, it’s best to enjoy it in reasonable portions as part of a balanced day.
Healthier tips
- Keep portions in check: aim for about 1 palm-sized serving per meal, then add more vegetables on the side.
- Balance your plate: add at least 1–2 cups of non-starchy veggies (e.g., kangkong, pechay, ampalaya, carrots) and a sensible serving of rice or root crops.
- Choose lighter cooking and flavoring: broil/roast is fine—go easy on salty sauces (toyo, patis, bagoong) and use herbs, garlic, pepper, and citrus for taste.
- If you’re having this for lunch or dinner, make your snacks fruit or yogurt instead of more fatty/salty foods.
- For frequency: enjoy pork like this occasionally, and rotate with leaner proteins (fish, chicken breast, tofu, eggs) more often.
