Allergen Info
Fish
What is this food?
Silver pike (eel-like fish). It’s a lean fish protein—about 72 kcal per 100 g—with very low fat and no carbs.
Why it matters to health
Fish like silver pike helps you meet your daily protein needs for muscle repair and staying full. It’s also low in saturated fat (around 0.04 g per 100 g) and has no sugar or carbs, which makes it a good choice for balanced meals. It does have some sodium (about 31 mg per 100 g), so it’s best to watch how salty the cooking method is (e.g., too much patis, toyo, or bagoong).
Healthier tips
- For meals: include 1 palm-sized serving of fish (about 90–120 g) in your 3 full meals, then add plenty of non-starchy veggies (like pechay, kangkong, talong, okra) for fiber and volume.
- Cooking: choose boiled, steamed, grilled, or sinigang with less salty seasoning.
- Watch the sauce: if using patis/toyo/bagoong, use smaller amounts and taste first.
- Pair it right: add 1 serving of rice or root crops if needed for energy, plus a veggie side.
- For snacks (1–2x/day): keep fish as part of a meal; snacks can be fruit, yogurt, or nuts instead.
