It also has some fiber (about 1.2 g per 100 g) which supports better digestion. On the other hand, it has moderate fat (8.7 g) and sodium (329 mg), so it\u2019s best to balance it with plenty of vegetables and to watch portions\u2014especially if you eat salty viands often. The carbs are relatively low (3.8 g), so it can fit well in meals when paired with rice in the right amount.","healthier_tips":["For a typical day (3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks), keep beef roll as your viand and add 1\u20132 cups of vegetables (e.g., pechay, kangkong, lettuce, tomato) to make the plate more filling.","Use smaller rice portions (start with about 1\/2\u20131 cup cooked rice) and add more veggies if you\u2019re still hungry.","Choose cooking methods with less added oil when possible (e.g., less frying, more simmering).","If the sauce is very salty, ask for less sauce or serve it on the side.","Enjoy it in moderation as part of a balanced routine\u2014mix your protein sources (fish, chicken, tofu, eggs, beans) across the week."]},"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-roll-mechado-cnd?agent=true"}}}
