High-sodium foods raise systolic BP by 3.5–5 mmHg. Dose-response in 34 RCTs (He et al., BMJ 2013). Per 100 g roe: 143 kcal, 22.3 g protein, 91 mg sodium. Weigh to the gram — visual portion estimation fails on dense paste foods.
How should I track Fish Roe, generic (processed)?
Fish Roe, generic (processed) is high in protein. For the most accurate tracking of Fish Roe, generic (processed), weigh it raw and boneless. Fish loses 15–25% of its weight during cooking as water evaporates (USDA cooking yield data). If you are using canned fish, the drained weight is what matters — the difference between oil-packed and water-packed can be 40–80 calories per can. A quick drain-and-weigh habit saves you from hidden calories. Also keep in mind that smoked or cured fish has different values than fresh due to moisture loss and added salt.
