What is this food?
Boiled shrimp (banana prawn). It’s a lean protein food, usually cooked by boiling until tender.
Why it matters to health
Shrimp provides protein to support muscle and help you feel full in between meals. Per 100g, it’s low in fat (about 0.4g) and has no sugar, which makes it a good choice for everyday meals. It does have sodium (about 113mg), so it’s best to avoid very salty seasonings or dipping sauces. Also, the carbs listed here (about 14g) come from the natural components of the food, but it’s still mainly used as a protein in your plate.
Healthier tips
- Pair with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, talong, okra) and a moderate serving of rice if you need energy for your day.
- For snacks, keep portions small—about 1/2 cup shrimp—and combine with veggies or a fruit to balance your meal.
- Go easy on salty bagoong, patis, or extra salt; use herbs, calamansi, garlic, and pepper for flavor.
- If you’re eating 3 full meals + 1–2 snacks, use shrimp as your protein at lunch or dinner, then choose lighter snacks like fruit or yogurt.
