It also has very low total fat (about 0.1g per 100g), though it still contains a small amount of saturated fat (about 0.06g). Sodium is relatively low (about 24mg per 100g), which makes it easier to fit into balanced meals\u2014especially if you avoid going heavy on salty sauces. Since it has no carbs and no sugar, it pairs well with rice, vegetables, and other fiber-rich foods for a more complete plate.","healthier_tips":["For meals: pair 1 palm-sized serving of threadfin with 1\u20132 cups of vegetables and a sensible portion of rice (or swap part of rice with vegetables if you\u2019re watching carbs).","Choose cooking methods like boiling, steaming, grilling, or sinigang-style instead of deep-frying.","Flavor with calamansi, vinegar, garlic, onions, and herbs; go easy on bagoong, patis, and extra salty seasoning.","If you\u2019re having it as a snack, keep it light\u2014e.g., small serving with vegetables\u2014so it still fits your 3 full meals plus 1\u20132 snacks schedule."]},"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-fourfinger?agent=true"}}}
