What is this food?
AI-assisted Sardines (Indian-style), a small fish that’s usually cooked or canned and used as a protein source. For 100g, it provides about 120 kcal and 4.7g fat with no carbs and no fiber listed in the data.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Sardines are helpful for everyday meals because they give protein to support muscles and keep you full. They also provide healthy fats along with some saturated fat, and they contain cholesterol. The sodium level is 68mg per 100g, which is generally manageable, but it can add up if you eat sardines often or if the product is salted. Since sardines have no fiber and no carbohydrates in this data, pairing them with vegetables and whole grains helps balance your plate for better digestion and steadier energy.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Build a balanced plate: add 1–2 cups non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, talong, okra) plus 1/2–1 cup rice or root crops depending on your meal size.
- For snacks, keep sardines as part of a meal or pair with fruit or vegetable-based sides rather than relying on sardines alone.
- Watch the type: if it’s canned, choose options that are lower in salt when available, and rinse if the label allows.
- Use portion as your guide: aim for a palm-sized serving of sardines per meal, then add more vegetables for volume and fiber.
