Protein supports body repair and helps you feel fuller. It also has sodium (~84 mg per 100 g), so it\u2019s better to watch how salty the dish is\u2014especially if it\u2019s cooked with soy sauce, bagoong, or lots of seasoning. Since it\u2019s an organ meat, it\u2019s also a good idea to keep portions reasonable and not make it the main protein every day, so your meals stay balanced with other protein sources (fish, chicken, eggs, tofu, beans).","healthier_tips":["Choose smaller portions (e.g., a few tablespoons to a quarter of your ulam plate), then fill the rest with vegetables and fiber-rich sides.","Prefer lighter cooking: less oil, less deep-frying, and avoid heavy, salty sauces.","Pair with non-starchy veggies (e.g., kangkong, pechay, repolyo) and a sensible amount of rice or skip rice if you already have starchy sides.","If you\u2019re eating it as a snack or street food, treat it as part of your daily meal balance\u2014aim for 3 full meals and 1\u20132 snacks, not extra frequent heavy portions."]},"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-intestine-large?agent=true"}}}
