Per 100 g, it has about 109 kcal with 4.2 g fat and 123 mg sodium, plus very little carbs and no fiber. Since it\u2019s not a fiber-rich food, pairing it with vegetables and other fiber sources helps your meals feel more complete and supports better digestion. Also, because sodium can add up depending on how it\u2019s seasoned and cooked, it\u2019s good to watch the overall salt level of your meal.","healthier_tips":["Keep portions reasonable: treat it as a protein side to your rice\/vegetables, not the whole plate.","Pair with non-starchy veggies (e.g., pechay, cabbage, kangkong) and\/or a serving of fruit to balance the lack of fiber.","Go easy on salty sauces and seasoning; taste first before adding more.","For snacks and daily routine: include it in one of your 3 full meals, and keep snacks lighter (e.g., fruit or yogurt) so your day stays balanced."]},"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-small?agent=true"}}}
