However, since it\u2019s fried, the fat and calories can add up faster\u2014so it\u2019s best to enjoy it in reasonable portions, especially if you already have other fatty foods in the day. It also has sodium (about 106mg per 100g), which matters for people watching salt intake. Since it has no fiber, pairing it with vegetables and\/or fruit helps round out your meals for better fullness and digestion.","healthier_tips":["Keep portions to about 1 palm-sized serving per meal, then add lots of vegetables (e.g., ensaladang talong, kangkong, or mixed salad).","If you\u2019re eating fried milkfish as a main, balance the plate with fiber-rich sides and a sensible amount of rice (or swap part of rice with more veggies).","For snacks, choose lighter options (like yogurt, fruit, or nuts in small portions) so the day\u2019s total calories and salt stay manageable.","Try healthier cooking when possible: grill, pan-fry with less oil, or air-fry for a similar taste with less added fat."]},"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\/milkfish-fried?agent=true"}}}
