What is this food?
AI-assisted
Croaker (tigertooth) is a type of fish. In a 100g serving, it’s a lean source of protein with about 89 kcal, very low fat (1.4g total) and no carbohydrates.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Fish like croaker helps support your daily protein needs for muscle repair and staying full after meals. It also has low total carbs and zero sugar, which fits well with the usual Filipino pattern of 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks. The fat is mostly low, but it still has some saturated fat (0.32g), so it’s best to pair it with plenty of vegetables and use lighter cooking methods. Sodium is relatively low (62mg per 100g), but if the fish is salted, dried, or cooked with salty sauces, sodium can add up—so watch the seasoning and portion.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Choose grilled, steamed, or sinigang-style with less added salt.
  • Pair with 1–2 cups of vegetables (like kangkong, pechay, or okra) to make the meal more filling and balanced.
  • For portions: aim for about 1 palm-sized serving of fish per meal, then add rice and veggies based on your hunger and activity.
  • If using bagoong, patis, or salty marinades, use small amounts and balance with sour (calamansi/vinegar) and herbs.
  • Include fish 1–2 times a week as part of your protein rotation (fish, chicken, eggs, beans).
