What is this food?
This is a vegetable-based dish that includes liver and bacon (often like a “veg + liver + bacon” mix). In a 100 g serving, it’s relatively low in calories but includes some fat and a small amount of carbohydrates.
Why it matters to health
It can be a good choice for adding protein and important nutrients from liver, while the vegetables contribute fiber (1.3 g) to help you feel full and support healthy digestion. The dish also has sodium (39 mg) and some saturated fat (0.32 g) and cholesterol (1 mg) from bacon/liver. For everyday eating, this means it fits best when you balance it with lighter sides and keep portions reasonable—especially if you eat bacon or liver often.
Healthier tips
- Pair it with more non-starchy vegetables (extra greens, carrots, sayote, or cabbage) to boost fiber without adding many calories.
- Use smaller portions of bacon and let the vegetables and liver do most of the work.
- For your 3 full meals + 1–2 snacks: enjoy this as part of a main meal, and keep snacks lighter (e.g., fruit or yogurt) so your day stays balanced.
- If you’re watching salt, choose less salty versions and avoid adding extra bagoong/seasoning.
- Drink water and include a whole grain or tuber side in appropriate portions if you need more energy for the day.
