Fish
What is this food?
This is dried, ground anchovy (often used as a seasoning or “bagoong/anchovy powder” style topping). It’s made from small fish that are dried and then ground, so it’s concentrated in flavor and nutrients.
Why it matters to health
Anchovy is a good protein source, which helps your body build and repair tissues. It also provides healthy minerals commonly found in fish. In this form, it has some saturated fat and cholesterol, and because it’s dried/processed, it’s often used in small amounts—so the key is portion and frequency. Since it has 0 g carbs and no fiber, it works best when paired with rice, vegetables, and/or fruits to make your meals more balanced.
Healthier tips
- Use it as a flavor booster: start with about 1–2 tablespoons for a meal (or less if it’s very salty), then adjust to taste.
- Pair with fiber-rich sides (e.g., kangkong, pechay, talong, okra, or a side salad) so your meal has better fullness and digestion.
- Balance your plate: aim for 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks a day—don’t rely on anchovy powder alone.
- If you’re watching salt, choose less salty versions and avoid adding extra salty sauces at the same time.
- For everyday use, spread it across the week rather than having large amounts every day.
