What is this food?
AI-assisted
Fish roe (fish eggs), usually served as a salty, rich topping or main ingredient. It’s considered a protein-rich food, but it can also be high in cholesterol and sodium depending on how it’s prepared.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Fish roe can help support your daily protein needs, which is useful for keeping you full and supporting muscle maintenance. It also has some healthy fats, but it’s relatively higher in saturated fat and cholesterol (especially at 100g). It can also be high in sodium (about 120mg per 100g), so it’s best to watch portions—particularly if you’re also eating other salty viands in the same day. When included in balanced meals, it can fit well as a flavorful protein choice.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Keep portions small: try 1–2 tablespoons or about 30–50g per meal, then pair with more fiber-rich sides (like vegetables or brown rice).
  • Balance the rest of the plate: aim for 1/2 vegetables, 1/4 protein, and 1/4 rice/starchy food.
  • Choose lighter pairings: go for steamed or sautéed veggies instead of extra salty sauces.
  • If you’re having fish roe, consider reducing other high-sodium items (like bagoong, salted fish, or instant noodles) in the same day.
  • For your daily pattern (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), use fish roe as part of a meal, not as a frequent snack.
