What is this food?
AI-assisted Quekiam is a fish-based dish (fish preparation) where fish is cooked with seasonings and served as a flavorful protein meal.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted With about 129 kcal per 100g, it can fit well as part of your daily meals—especially when you need a steady source of protein for muscle repair and satiety. It has low total fat (2.1g), which helps keep the meal lighter, but it also has carbohydrates (23.4g), so it’s best to pair it with non-starchy vegetables and control the portion if you’re also eating rice or noodles in the same meal. If the dish is salty (common with fish preparations), balancing it with water-rich veggies and not overdoing the serving can help keep your overall intake comfortable for the day.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Serve with 1–2 cups of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, cabbage, kangkong) to add fiber and volume.
- If you’ll have rice, start with 1/2–1 cup cooked rice and adjust based on your appetite and activity.
- Watch the sauce: choose less salty options or ask for extra veggies instead of extra sauce.
- For your daily pattern (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), use this as your protein for lunch or dinner, and keep snacks lighter (fruit, yogurt, or nuts in small portions).
- Balance your plate: aim for half veggies, a quarter protein (like quekiam), and a quarter carbs.
