It also provides sodium (about 81 mg per 100 g), so it\u2019s best to watch how much salt or salty seasonings you add\u2014especially if you\u2019re also eating other salty foods in the day. For everyday eating (3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks), fish like spadefish can support fullness and help you balance your plate with rice and vegetables.","healthier_tips":["Choose cooking methods like grilling, steaming, or simmering in soup to keep added oil low.","For a balanced plate: aim for 1 palm-sized portion of fish per meal, then add rice (if you eat it) and plenty of vegetables.","Flavor with herbs, calamansi, vinegar, garlic, and onions; go easy on salt-based sauces and bagoong.","If you\u2019re having spadefish as a snack, keep the portion small and pair it with fruits or vegetables (not more fried sides)."]},"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\/spadefish?agent=true"}}}
