In 100g, it has low carbohydrates and no fiber\/sugar, so it works best when paired with vegetables and a sensible amount of rice or other carbs. It also has some saturated fat (0.48g) and cholesterol (33mg), but the total fat is low (0.8g). Sodium is also relatively low (26mg) in the plain form, so your overall salt level will depend more on how it\u2019s cooked (e.g., bagoong, patis, or salty seasonings).","healthier_tips":["Choose grilled, steamed, or lightly fried versions to keep added oil lower.","Pair with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, ampalaya, okra) and a reasonable serving of rice for balanced meals.","If using salty condiments (patis\/bagoong), use less and add more flavor with herbs, calamansi, garlic, and ginger.","For your eating pattern: include fish in 1 full meal most days, and keep snacks for fruits or yogurt instead of extra 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\/threadfin-fish?agent=true"}}}
