What is this food?
Pork pastel is a Filipino baked or stewed dish made with pork and vegetables, usually with a creamy sauce and a starchy base (often like a pie/pastel-style filling). In this data, 100g has about 147 kcal, with protein coming mainly from the pork.
Why it matters to health
Pork pastel can be a good protein option for building and repairing body tissues. It also provides some fiber from the vegetables (about 0.7g per 100g), which helps with better digestion. However, it’s also relatively higher in sodium (about 262mg per 100g) and fat (about 10.4g per 100g), so portion size matters—especially if you eat it regularly. The carbs are lower in this data (about 4.6g per 100g), but the overall dish can still become heavier if it’s paired with rice or if the recipe uses more starchy ingredients.
Healthier tips
- For a balanced day (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), try these:
- Keep your serving to about 1/2 to 1 cup (or around 100–150g) and pair with extra non-starchy vegetables like lettuce, cucumber, or kangkong.
- Choose less-salty versions: use reduced-sodium seasoning or go easy on added salt/seasoning packets.
- If you’ll have rice, keep it to 1 small scoop and make the rest of the plate veggies + protein.
- Watch the frequency: enjoy pastel as a regular meal but not every day—rotate with other protein viands.
