What is this food?
AI-assisted Smoked sardines (sardinas) — a protein-rich fish product. “Bombon” is often used for the small, canned sardines style, and “smoked” means it’s been processed for flavor and shelf life. Typical serving: 100g gives about 155 kcal.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Sardines are a convenient protein option for your meals and snacks. They provide healthy fats and a good amount of cholesterol-free protein, but they also come with sodium (about 1453 mg per 100g) and some saturated fat (about 0.7 g). For heart health and overall balance, the key is to enjoy them regularly but not in very large portions—especially if you also eat other salty processed foods in the same day. The good part: since it has no carbs and no sugar, it can fit well into a balanced plate (rice + veggies + protein) without adding extra sweet or starchy calories.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Portion: Aim for about 1/2 to 1 small serving per meal (adjust based on your rice and vegetable portions).
- Balance the plate: Pair with 1–2 cups non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, kangkong, lettuce, tomatoes) and a reasonable serving of rice.
- Watch sodium: If the sardines are very salty, rinse briefly (if the product allows) or choose lower-sodium options when available.
- Spread it out: Use sardines a few times a week, not every day, especially if you’re also having instant noodles, processed meats, or salty sauces.
- For snacks: If you eat sardines as a snack, keep it smaller and add crunchy veggies or whole fruit on the side.
