It also has very low carbs and fiber, so it fits well when you\u2019re balancing your plate with rice or other carbs. One thing to watch is the sodium\u2014at about 163 mg per 100 g\u2014especially if the anchovies are heavily salted or eaten in large amounts, since too much salt can affect blood pressure over time.","healthier_tips":["Use anchovy as a flavor booster: add a small portion to rice, vegetables, or soup instead of making it the main \u201cbig\u201d portion.","If it\u2019s very salty, rinse briefly and pat dry before cooking.","Pair it with vegetables (like kangkong, pechay, or tomatoes) and a balanced carb portion for your 3 meals.","For snacks, keep it simple\u2014avoid anchovy-heavy snacks if you already had salty viands at lunch or dinner.","Check labels when available (sodium content) and choose less-salted options when you can."]},"data_quality":{"source":"DOST-FNRI Philippine Food Composition Tables","source_code":"ph_fct","daily_values_reference":"RENI 2002","notes":["Values are estimates per 100g edible portion.","Actual nutrients may vary by preparation and variety."]},"links":{"self":"https:\/\/api.juanutrisyon.info\/api\/foods\/anchovy-indian-adult?agent=true"}}}
