Fish
What is this food?
AI-assisted
Flatfish/Brill (smooth-scaled), a lean fish. In a 100g serving, it’s mostly protein with very low fat and no carbs.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
This fish is a good lean protein option to support muscle and keep you full in between meals. It’s also low in total fat (about 0.2g) and saturated fat (about 0.05g), which helps when you’re building balanced meals. Since it has no carbohydrates, sugar, and fiber, it works best when paired with fiber-rich sides like vegetables and whole grains. It has some sodium (about 94mg per 100g), so choose lighter seasoning or avoid very salty sauces most of the time.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
For your 3 meals + 1–2 snacks a day, use this fish as your protein at lunch or dinner. Aim for a palm-sized portion (about 80–120g cooked) and pair it with:
  • 1–2 cups non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, talong, okra)
  • 1 serving of carbs if needed for energy (e.g., brown rice, kamote, or corn)
  • Healthy cooking: steam, grill, or boil instead of deep-frying
If you’re using bagoong, patis, or salty seasoning, go easy and balance with fresh vegetables.
Common Filipino dishes
Tinapang isda (lightly salted), Sinigang na isda, Grilled fish with calamansi and herbs, Paksiw na isda (less salty), Escabeche (baked/less sauce)
