It also has cholesterol (62 mg per 100 g) and some saturated fat (0.45 g), so it\u2019s best to keep portions reasonable. The bigger thing to watch is sodium\u2014it\u2019s high (6531 mg per 100 g). With high-salt foods, too much can affect blood pressure over time. The good news: when you balance it with fresh vegetables and other lower-sodium foods, dried fish can fit well in a daily eating pattern of 3 meals plus 1\u20132 snacks.","healthier_tips":["Portion first: use a smaller serving (about 1\u20132 tablespoons to 1\/4 cup cooked flakes, depending on how it\u2019s prepared) so sodium doesn\u2019t add up.","Soak or rinse: if the fish is very salty, soak in water for a few minutes then drain (and adjust seasoning in your dish).","Pair with fiber-rich sides: add lots of vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, okra, or ensaladang gulay) to help balance the meal.","Balance the plate: include rice in a normal serving, add a vegetable dish, and keep the rest of the meal not too salty.","Frequency: enjoy it regularly but not every day\u2014rotate with fresh fish, eggs, chicken, tofu, or legumes."]},"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\/scad-big-eye-dried?agent=true"}}}
