Whiting, flesh only, steamed

Whiting is a white fish. These figures describe the steamed flesh only, without bones or other parts of the fish. It mainly provides protein, with 21g per 100g, and contains 0.9g of fat. It also supplies minerals, including 80µg of iodine and 25µg of selenium per 100g.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Iodine helps the thyroid gland make thyroid hormones, which regulate the body's metabolism, while selenium supports normal immune function. Steamed whiting contains little saturated fat, although added butter, sauces or salt can change the nutritional content of a meal. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
