What is this food?
AI-assisted
Barracuda (striped) fish, a lean protein source. In a 100g serving, it has about 90 kcal and provides protein with very low carbohydrates.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Barracuda supports your daily meals because it’s a protein food that helps keep you full and supports muscle repair and growth. It also has some healthy fats, but it contains saturated fat (0.35g per 100g) and sodium (154mg per 100g), so the way it’s cooked matters—especially if it’s fried or heavily salted. Since it has 0g carbohydrates, it fits well with balanced Filipino meals (rice + ulam + gulay) without adding extra carbs.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Choose cooking methods like grilling, steaming, or sinigang-style with less added salt.
  • If you’ll pan-fry, use a smaller amount of oil and avoid frequent deep-frying.
  • Pair with 1–2 servings of vegetables (like kangkong, talong, or okra) and keep rice to a reasonable portion for your 3 full meals.
  • For snacks, you can still include fish occasionally, but focus snacks on fruit, yogurt, or nuts to keep meals balanced.
  • Watch sodium by tasting bago magdagdag ng patis/asin; use herbs, calamansi, and spices for flavor.
