It also has high cholesterol (about 293 mg per 100g) and sodium (about 182 mg per 100g), and it contains saturated fat (about 0.62 g). Because of these, it\u2019s best to enjoy it in reasonable portions and not as a daily staple\u2014especially if you\u2019re watching cholesterol or heart health. The good part: it\u2019s low in carbs and sugar, so it fits well with rice and vegetables when portioned properly.","healthier_tips":["Keep portions small: aim for about 1\/4 to 1\/2 cup cooked (or roughly 50\u201375g) per meal, then fill the rest of your plate with vegetables and carbs you can measure (rice, kamote, or bread).","Balance your plate: add at least 1\u20132 servings of non-starchy veggies (e.g., pechay, kangkong, talong, carrots) to support fiber and overall fullness.","Go easy on salty cooking: limit extra salt and choose less salty sauces; watch the sodium if it\u2019s cooked with soy sauce, patis, or bagoong.","Try it 1\u20132 times per week instead of every day, and rotate with other protein sources (fish, chicken, eggs, tofu).","If you\u2019re eating 3 full meals plus 1\u20132 snacks daily, make kidney a main-protein choice for one meal, not something you also add to snacks."]},"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-kidney?agent=true"}}}
