What is this food?
AI-assisted
Goby (long-tailed) — a small fish commonly eaten as ulam. In a 100g serving, it’s very low in carbohydrates and provides a modest amount of fat.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Goby can be a good choice for adding protein-rich ulam to your meals while keeping carbs low. It also has some fat (about 2.4g per 100g), including saturated fat (about 0.36g), and a relatively low sodium level (about 60mg per 100g). This helps support balanced eating across your 3 full meals and 1–2 snacks a day—especially when you pair it with rice plus lots of vegetables and use lighter seasonings. If it’s prepared with salty sauces (like patis or bagoong), sodium can go up, so it’s best to watch the seasoning amount.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Pair goby with 1–2 cups of vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, ampalaya leaves) and a reasonable serving of rice.
  • Choose cooking methods like ginisa with minimal oil, steamed, or grilled; avoid deep-frying when possible.
  • Go easy on salty condiments (patis, bagoong, soy sauce). Add flavor with garlic, onions, calamansi, and herbs instead.
  • For portion: aim for about 1 palm-sized serving of fish per meal, then fill the plate with veggies and a controlled amount of rice.
