Chub is a type of fish that contains purine content. According to the level of purine content, we generally categorize fish into four groups: high-purine foods, medium-purine foods, low-purine foods and no-purine foods. Chub contains about 150 milligrams of purines per 100 grams, so it is categorized as a high-purine food.

For gout patients, it is recommended to limit purine intake by avoiding or restricting the consumption of high-purine foods, such as offal, seafood and red meat. Therefore, gout patients should limit their intake of chub.

However, for ordinary people, white chub is a nutritious food rich in high quality protein, amino acids, riboflavin, niacin, and a variety of trace elements, and the fat content is not high, appropriate consumption can help to improve appetite and replenish nutrition.

When consuming chub, it is recommended to use low-salt and low-oil cooking methods, and to eat with other foods to avoid excessive intake of a single food. It is also recommended to consult your doctor or dietitian for advice if you have any concerns.
