AI-assisted Fish
Some descriptions on this page are generated with AI assistance to make nutrition information easier to understand. Nutritional data comes from trusted sources like DOST-FNRI and USDA.
What is this food?
AI-assisted Catfish (freshwater), a lean fish protein. For every 100g, it has about 80 kcal and is naturally low in carbs and fiber.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Catfish helps support muscle and keeps you full because it’s a protein food. It also has cholesterol (about 35mg per 100g) and some saturated fat (about 0.14g), so it’s best to pair it with lots of vegetables and use cooking methods that don’t add too much oil. Sodium is relatively low (about 63mg per 100g), which is helpful if you’re mindful of salt in everyday meals.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - For your 3 full meals + 1–2 snacks a day, include catfish in meals (e.g., lunch or dinner) as your main protein.
- Choose grilled, steamed, or sinigang-style over deep-fried. If you fry, keep the portion smaller and avoid frequent frying.
- Pair with non-starchy vegetables (like kangkong, pechay, okra, or talong) and a sensible serving of rice or root crops.
- If using bagoong, patis, or salty sauces, go easy on the amount to keep sodium in check.
Common Filipino dishes
