What is this food?
AI-assisted Dried mudfish (murrel) — a protein-rich fish that’s been dried, usually striated and flavorful, and eaten as a viand or topping.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted This food is mainly protein (with about 215 kcal per 100 g) which helps your body build and repair tissues and supports fullness between meals. It also has some fat (about 3.6 g per 100 g). Since it has zero carbs and fiber, it fits well when you’re building balanced meals with rice or other carbs on the side. Because it’s dried, it can be saltier depending on how it was processed—so it’s best to pair it with fresh vegetables and drink enough water, especially if you’re having it regularly.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Use it as a viand or side, not the only food on your plate—pair with rice (or other carbs) plus non-starchy vegetables like pechay, kangkong, or talong.
- For daily eating (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), keep dried fish to a reasonable portion per meal and rotate with other protein sources (eggs, chicken, tofu, fresh fish).
- If you’re watching salt, choose products labeled lower-sodium when available, and rinse briefly if the taste is very salty.
- Balance the meal with fiber: add a serving of vegetables or a fruit snack if you need more fiber for the day.
