Fish
What is this food?
Dried anchovy (often used as “bagoong/anchovy” style seasoning or as a salty topping). It’s a small fish that’s dried, so it’s usually concentrated in flavor and nutrients.
Why it matters to health
Dried anchovy is a good source of protein, which helps keep you full and supports muscle maintenance—useful in a day with 3 meals and 1–2 snacks. It also provides healthy-ish fats (though it has some saturated fat) and cholesterol. Because it’s dried, it’s also commonly high in sodium (even if sodium isn’t listed here), so it’s best to use it for flavor rather than eat large amounts. When you enjoy it in reasonable portions, it can fit well in a balanced diet.
Healthier tips
- Use a small serving (about 1–2 tablespoons as topping or mixed into dishes) instead of eating a big handful.
- Pair with vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, tomatoes) and carbs with fiber (brown rice, kamote, or whole grains) to balance the meal.
- Choose dishes where anchovy is a flavor booster: sinangag, ensaladang gulay, or mixed into veggie-based ulam.
- If you have high blood pressure or you’re watching salt, try less salty versions or rinse briefly if the product allows.
- Spread it across the day: keep it mainly for one meal, then let your other meals/snacks be lighter on salty toppings.
