What is this food?
AI-assisted Climbing perch (a freshwater fish), usually cooked as a main protein. In a 100g serving, it’s about 71 kcal and is very low in fat and carbs.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted This fish is a good lean protein option, which helps keep you full and supports muscle maintenance—useful for your 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks a day. It also has very low carbs and sugar, so it can fit well with balanced meals. One thing to watch is sodium (about 56 mg per 100g), which can increase depending on how it’s cooked (e.g., with bagoong, patis, or salty seasonings).
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Pair it with 1–2 servings of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, ampalaya) and a reasonable portion of rice if you need energy.
- Choose cooking methods like grilling, steaming, or sinigang-style with lighter seasoning.
- If using salty sauces (bagoong/patis), start with a smaller amount and add more only if needed.
- For a snack day, keep fish as part of a meal; if you snack, choose fruit, yogurt, or nuts instead of adding another heavy protein serving.
