What is this food?
Lean boiled pork Boston butt (about 100g). It’s a protein-rich meat with little to no carbs and no fiber.
Why it matters to health
This food helps support muscle repair and keeps you full because it provides protein. It also has some healthy energy, but it comes with fat—including saturated fat (5.81g per 100g). It’s also relatively low in sodium (47mg per 100g) since it’s boiled. For everyday meals, the key is balancing the portion and pairing it with vegetables and high-fiber carbs so your plate is more complete.
Healthier tips
- For your 3 full meals + 1–2 snacks a day, use boiled pork as your protein portion: aim for about 1 palm-sized serving per meal (adjust based on your appetite and activity).
- Pair it with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, sayote, carrots) and a sensible serving of carbs (e.g., 1/2–1 cup cooked rice or a small serving of kamote).
- To keep fats in check, skim off visible fat after boiling and avoid adding too much oil or fatty sauces.
- If you’re watching salt, keep seasonings light and limit salty dips.
