It also provides healthy fats, but it has some saturated fat (0.78 g per 100 g), so cooking method matters. Sodium is also present (88 mg per 100 g), so if the dish is salty (e.g., with lots of bagoong, patis, or seasoning), it can add up\u2014especially if you eat it often. Since it has 0 g carbs, it can fit well with balanced meals (rice + ulam) without adding extra sugar.","healthier_tips":["For meals: pair scad with 1\u20132 cups of vegetables and 1 serving of rice (or swap some rice with root crops\/extra veggies).","Choose grilled, steamed, or lightly fried versions to reduce extra oil; if frying, use less oil and avoid frequent deep-frying.","Watch salty add-ons: go easy on patis\/bagoong and salty sauces, especially if you\u2019re eating scad more than once a week.","For snacks (1\u20132 per day): if you\u2019re having fish as a snack, keep the portion small and pair with fruit or veggies instead of more salty sides.","Try a variety of proteins through the week (fish, chicken, eggs, tofu) so you get different nutrients."]},"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-round?agent=true"}}}
