With low total fat (about 0.2 g per 100 g) and no carbs, it helps support steady energy and keeps your plate balanced. It also has sodium (about 26 mg per 100 g), so it\u2019s best to watch how much salt, bagoong, or salty seasoning you add when cooking. The saturated fat is also low, which is helpful for heart-friendly eating when paired with vegetables and whole grains.","healthier_tips":["Cook with less oil: steam, grill, or bake instead of deep-frying.","Flavor with herbs and citrus (calamansi, vinegar, garlic, pepper) rather than extra salt.","Build a balanced plate: 1\/2 non-starchy vegetables + 1\/4 rice or root crops + 1\/4 fish.","If you eat it as part of your 3 meals, aim for a consistent portion (about 1 palm-sized serving) and pair it with fiber-rich sides.","For snacks (1\u20132 per day), choose fruit or unsweetened yogurt instead of salty fish snacks."]},"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-small-mouth?agent=true"}}}
