However, they\u2019re also higher in sodium (about 842 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (about 5.24 g per 100 g), which can add up if eaten often\u2014especially alongside other salty or fatty foods. The cholesterol content (about 57 mg per 100 g) is another reason to keep portions and frequency in check. If you include them, balance them with vegetables and other lighter foods during your 3 full meals and 1\u20132 snacks.","healthier_tips":["Choose a smaller portion: aim for about 1\u20132 pieces (or ~30\u201350 g) as part of a meal, not the main bulk of your plate.","Pair with lots of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., cabbage, carrots, pechay) and a reasonable serving of rice or swap with brown rice\/whole grains.","Go easy on added salt: skip extra soy sauce, ketchup, or salty dips when possible.","Cook methods matter: grill, pan-sear, or bake; avoid heavy frying to reduce extra fat.","Limit frequency: enjoy beef franks occasionally, and rotate with other protein sources like fish, eggs, tofu, or chicken."]},"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\/beef-franks-raw?agent=true"}}}
