What is this food?
Pork Boston butt (lean), broiled. It’s a pork cut that’s mainly used as a protein food (about 154 kcal per 100 g), with no carbs or fiber.
Why it matters to health
This pork is a good protein choice for building and repairing body tissues and for keeping you full during your 3 meals and 1–2 snacks a day. It also has cholesterol (54 mg) and saturated fat (2.56 g) and some sodium (57 mg). Since it’s broiled and lean, it’s generally a lighter way to enjoy pork, but portion size still matters—especially if you also eat other fatty or salty foods in the same day.
Healthier tips
- Keep portions to about 1 palm-sized serving per meal, then balance with 1–2 cups of vegetables and 1/2–1 cup of rice or other carbs depending on your activity.
- Pair it with fiber-rich sides (e.g., kangkong, pechay, talong, or mixed veggies) to support digestion and help you feel satisfied.
- Go easy on salty sauces (toyo, patis, bagoong, processed condiments). Use herbs, calamansi, garlic, and pepper for flavor.
- If you snack, choose fruit, yogurt, or nuts in smaller portions instead of adding another heavy meat dish.
