Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Anchovy
Metabolic Effect: Anchovy provides a feeling of fullness due to its high protein content and balances blood sugar. Thanks to the omega-3 fatty acids it contains, it supports heart health and reduces inflammation.
Consumption Recommendation: It is healthiest to consume anchovy in season. Cooking it by grilling, baking, or steaming instead of frying preserves its nutritional value. Consuming it with a salad with plenty of greens increases vitamin and mineral intake.
Things to Consider: Anchovy can have a high sodium content, so those with high blood pressure should consume it carefully. One serving of anchovy is about 20-25 pieces and this amount meets a significant portion of the daily protein requirement.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from 100 grams of anchovy, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 30-35 minutes. This is equivalent to taking approximately 3500-4000 steps.
