What is this food?
Boiled tomato (tomato cooked in water).
Why it matters to health
Tomatoes are low in calories and provide fiber (helps you feel full and supports regular digestion), plus sugar naturally present in the fruit. They also have small amounts of sodium when boiled (much lower than salted or processed versions). The tiny fat and saturated fat are minimal, so they’re a good choice to add volume and flavor to meals without piling on calories. Since tomatoes contain natural sugars, pairing them with balanced meals (rice/vegetables/protein) helps keep your overall intake steady.
Healthier tips
- Use boiled tomato as a side or mix into viands, soup, or ginisang gulay for extra fiber and color.
- For a balanced day (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), aim to include tomatoes in at least 1–2 meals; keep the rest of the plate with protein (fish, chicken, tofu) and carbs (rice or root crops) in appropriate portions.
- If you’re watching sodium, avoid adding extra salt; use herbs, garlic, onion, and pepper for taste.
- Try adding a bit of vegetable variety (leafy greens or non-starchy veggies) so you get more different nutrients across the day.
