Use more aromatics like garlic, onion, pepper, and herbs for flavor.","Pair with brown rice, mixed grains, or starchy sides in smaller portions to support energy without overloading calories.","If you\u2019re having it for lunch or dinner, balance the rest of the day with lighter, veggie-based snacks (fruit, yogurt, or nuts in small amounts)."]},"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-short-rib?agent=true"}}}
