What is this food?
AI-assisted Soybean cheese, salted (a salty, processed soy-based cheese). For every 100 g, it provides about 117 kcal and is mainly used as a protein topping or ingredient.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted It can help you meet your protein needs, which supports muscle repair and keeps you full. However, this salted version is also high in sodium (about 3410 mg per 100 g) and has some saturated fat (about 0.9 g per 100 g). Too much sodium can make it harder to manage blood pressure, especially if you also eat salty viands, instant noodles, chips, and processed foods in the same day. The carbs are relatively low (about 4 g), but it also has some sugar (about 2.1 g), so it’s best used in small portions as part of balanced meals.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Use it as a small add-on (e.g., a few slices or a sprinkle) rather than a main portion—especially since it’s high in sodium.
- Pair it with fiber-rich foods like vegetables, beans, or brown rice to help balance the meal and improve fullness.
- Balance your day: if you have this during lunch or dinner, choose lower-sodium snacks (fruit, unsalted nuts, yogurt) for the rest of the day.
- Check your overall salt intake: go easy on salty sauces (toyo, patis, bagoong) when using salted cheese.
- Try unsalted or less-salty versions when available, and aim for 3 full meals plus 1–2 planned snacks daily.
