What is this food?
Pork stomach (also called liempo/“tiyan” part), a fatty cut of pork. This serving (100g) has about 121 kcal and is mainly a source of protein, with most of its calories coming from fat.
Why it matters to health
Pork stomach can fit into meals because it provides protein and healthy satiety, but it also tends to be higher in saturated fat and cholesterol. In this 100g serving: total fat 6.5g with saturated fat 2.58g, cholesterol 143mg, and sodium 64mg. Since it’s not a high-fiber food (0g fiber), pairing it with vegetables and whole carbs helps balance your plate and supports better digestion and overall meal quality.
Healthier tips
- Balance your plate: pair pork stomach with lots of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, talong, okra) and add a sensible portion of rice or other carbs.
- Watch the portion: keep it as part of your meal, not the whole plate—especially if you’re having it often.
- Choose cooking methods wisely: grill, roast, or stir-fry with less added oil; avoid heavy batter and deep-frying when possible.
- Mind the sodium: go easy on salty sauces (soy sauce, bagoong, patis) and use more herbs, garlic, calamansi, and spices for flavor.
- Frequency matters: since it’s higher in saturated fat, enjoy it occasionally while rotating with leaner protein options.
