Fish
What is this food?
Bream (humpnose big-eye) fish—this is a type of lean fish commonly eaten as viand. In a 100g serving, it has about 80 kcal and is mostly protein with very low carbs.
Why it matters to health
This fish supports your daily protein needs for muscle repair and satiety. It’s also low in carbohydrates and sugar, which fits well with a typical Filipino eating pattern (3 meals plus 1–2 snacks). It has small amounts of fat (0.5g) and some saturated fat (0.13g), so it’s best to pair it with healthy cooking methods and sides. The sodium is relatively low at 48mg per 100g, but how you season and cook (e.g., salted, bagoong, patis, or very salty sauces) can raise sodium—so watch the added seasonings.
Healthier tips
- Choose cooking methods like boiled, steamed, grilled, or sinigang with less salty seasoning.
- Pair with 1–2 servings of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, talong, okra) and a sensible rice portion.
- If using salty condiments (patis, bagoong, toyo), use small amounts and balance with sour/garlic/onion flavors.
- For snacks, consider fruit or yogurt instead of extra salty fried sides.
