Allergen Info
Fish
What is this food?
AI-assisted
Threadfin fish (a small, silvery fish often used for fried, grilled, or cooked in soups). It’s mainly a lean protein food.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
For your daily meals, threadfin fish helps because it provides protein to support muscle and keep you full. In 100g, it has low carbohydrates and no fiber/sugar, so it works best when paired with vegetables and a sensible amount of rice or other carbs. It also has some saturated fat (0.48g) and cholesterol (33mg), but the total fat is low (0.8g). Sodium is also relatively low (26mg) in the plain form, so your overall salt level will depend more on how it’s cooked (e.g., bagoong, patis, or salty seasonings).
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Choose grilled, steamed, or lightly fried versions to keep added oil lower.
  • Pair with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, ampalaya, okra) and a reasonable serving of rice for balanced meals.
  • If using salty condiments (patis/bagoong), use less and add more flavor with herbs, calamansi, garlic, and ginger.
  • For your eating pattern: include fish in 1 full meal most days, and keep snacks for fruits or yogurt instead of extra fried sides.
