It also has natural sugars (13g per 100g), so it\u2019s a good choice for snacks or as part of meals, especially when paired with protein or healthy fats to keep you fuller. Since it\u2019s low in fat (0.3g) and sodium (3mg), it\u2019s generally heart-friendly. Still, portion matters because the carbs and sugars add up\u2014especially if you\u2019re having it alongside other sweet or starchy foods in the same meal or snack.","healthier_tips":["Use it as a snack or as part of breakfast: aim for about 1 small to 1 medium banana, depending on your daily needs.","Pair it with protein (e.g., plain yogurt, milk, boiled egg, or peanut butter) to improve fullness.","If you\u2019re also eating rice\/bread\/cookies, keep the banana portion smaller that day to balance your total carbs.","For a more filling snack, combine banana with oats or nuts, or make it into a smoothie with less added sugar."]},"data_quality":{"source":"DOST-FNRI Philippine Food Composition Tables","source_code":"ph_fct","daily_values_reference":"RENI 2002","notes":["Values are estimates per 100g edible portion.","Actual nutrients may vary by preparation and variety."]},"links":{"self":"https:\/\/api.juanutrisyon.info\/api\/foods\/banana-latundan?agent=true"}}}
