What is this food?
Bird’s nest soup (nido) with condiments—usually a light, sweet-savory soup where the bird’s nest is the main ingredient, and the “cond/cnd” refers to added flavorings or sauce.
Why it matters to health
Per 100g, it’s relatively low in calories (about 45 kcal) and provides some fat (around 2.1g) and carbohydrates (about 5.3g). It also has a small amount of fiber (0.2g) and sugar (2.1g). The main thing to watch is sodium (about 226mg per 100g), since too much sodium can add up across the day—especially if you also eat salty viands, instant noodles, or processed snacks. If you’re having this as a snack or part of a meal, it can fit well when balanced with more fiber-rich foods (vegetables, fruits, whole grains) and lean protein from your other dishes.
Healthier tips
- Use it as a snack or starter, not as the only food—pair it with a balanced plate (rice/whole grains + vegetables + lean protein).
- If you can choose, ask for less added sauce/condiments or go for a lighter seasoning to keep sodium lower.
- Add fiber to your day: have it with a side of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, squash) or fruit after.
- Watch portions: since it’s sweet-savory, keep servings reasonable so sugar and sodium don’t add up.
- For your 3 meals + 1–2 snacks pattern, place this in one snack slot and keep the other snack lighter (e.g., fruit, yogurt, or nuts in small portions).
