What is this food?
AI-assisted Parrot fish (daisy), a type of fish used as a protein source. In a 100 g serving, it provides about 84 kcal and is very low in fat (around 0.4 g) with no carbs, sugar, and fiber.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Fish like parrot fish helps support your daily protein needs for building and repairing body tissues. It’s also naturally low in calories and carbohydrates, which can fit well into a balanced 3-meals-plus-snacks routine. It has some sodium (about 103 mg per 100 g), so if it’s cooked with salty ingredients (like patis, bagoong, or lots of seasoning), keep an eye on the overall salt from the rest of your meals.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Choose healthier cooking methods: boil, steam, grill, or bake instead of deep-frying.
- Flavor with garlic, onions, calamansi, herbs, and spices rather than extra salty sauces.
- Pair it with 1–2 cups of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, ampalaya leaves) and a sensible portion of rice or other carbs if needed.
- For your daily pattern, use fish as your protein for one full meal, then balance the rest of the day with vegetables, fruits, and whole grains.
