Fish
What is this food?
Smoked scad (round, smoked fish). It’s a protein-rich fish, usually eaten as ulam with rice and vegetables.
Why it matters to health
Smoked scad provides protein to help build and repair body tissues and keep you full. It also has healthy fats in small amounts, but it can be higher in saturated fat (about 1.29 g per 100 g) and cholesterol (about 100 mg per 100 g). The main caution is sodium—about 1478 mg per 100 g—since smoking and seasoning can raise salt levels. With that, it’s still a good choice when you balance portions and pair it with fiber-rich foods (like vegetables) to support overall heart health and digestion.
Healthier tips
- For daily eating: keep smoked fish to a portion size you can finish in one meal (for example, about 1–2 small servings depending on your rice and other ulam).
- Since it’s high in sodium, try to not make it the only ulam every day—rotate with fresh fish, tofu, eggs, or chicken.
- Pair with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, ampalaya) and add a fruit or veggie side when possible.
- If available, choose less-salty smoked options or rinse briefly and pat dry before cooking.
- Balance your plate: aim for 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks a day, and keep snacks lighter so your overall sodium and calories stay reasonable.
