It also has very low fat and almost no sodium, which is good for heart-friendly eating. Since it has natural sugar and carbs, pairing it with protein or healthy fats (instead of eating it alone every time) can help keep your energy steadier. Also, if you\u2019re watching saturated fat, note that banana has some saturated fat (0.14g) but it\u2019s still low overall\u2014so it\u2019s generally a fine fruit choice when portion and frequency are balanced.","healthier_tips":["For snacks, try 1 small to 1 medium banana (or about 100g) and pair it with plain yogurt, milk, or a handful of nuts to balance the carbs.","If you\u2019re having banana with rice or bread, keep the portion smaller so your total carbs for the meal stay reasonable.","Choose whole banana over banana-based drinks or desserts most of the time\u2014this helps you get fiber instead of just sugar.","Since it\u2019s sweet, enjoy it regularly but not every snack\u2014mix it with other fruits and whole foods across the day."]},"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-ternate?agent=true"}}}
