What is this food?
AI-assisted
Shrimp paste, sauteed (bagoong alamang or similar), used mainly as a flavorful condiment or base for dishes.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
This is flavorful and can add protein and taste, but the sauteed shrimp paste is also high in sodium (1130 mg per 100 g) and high in saturated fat (25.48 g) with high cholesterol (189 mg). It also has carbohydrates and sugar (17.7 g carbs; 16.5 g sugar) and low fiber (0.9 g). Because of the sodium and saturated fat, it’s best to use it in small amounts—especially if you eat it often with rice and other salty viands. When portioned well, it can still fit into a balanced day of 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Use a small spoon as seasoning (start with less, then taste).
  • Balance the meal with lots of vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, talong) and a source of lean protein.
  • Pair with moderate rice portions and add fiber-rich sides (fresh salad, gulay, beans).
  • If you’re cooking, consider less oil and avoid adding extra salt since bagoong already brings a lot of sodium.
  • For snacks, choose unsalted options (fruit, yogurt, nuts in small portions) instead of more salty condiments.
