Sardines, flesh only, grilled, weighed with skin and bones

Sardines are oily fish. These figures refer to grilled sardine flesh, expressed per 100g of fish weighed with its skin and bones, rather than per 100g of flesh alone. On this basis, they provide 16g of protein, 4.9g of fat, 3.2µg of vitamin D and 6.7µg of vitamin B12.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Vitamin D helps regulate calcium and phosphate in the body, while vitamin B12 supports normal nerve function and red blood cell formation. These figures are for the flesh only and do not include nutrients from eating the bones. Added salt, oils or sauces can change the nutritional content of the meal.
