It also has iron and B-vitamins (commonly found in beef) that support energy and blood health. However, this version can be higher in sodium (about 429 mg per 262 g) and has more saturated fat (about 5.43 g) depending on the cut used. Too much sodium can affect blood pressure over time, and too much saturated fat can be harder for heart health if eaten often. The good side: it\u2019s low in carbs (about 7.69 g) and has a small amount of fiber (about 1.16 g), so it pairs well with vegetables and rice in balanced portions.","healthier_tips":["Choose leaner beef cuts (or trim visible fat) to lower saturated fat.","Go easy on extra sauce: taste first, then add soy\/calansi gradually.","Balance your plate: aim for 1\/2 vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, broccoli, or mixed salad) + 1\/4 bistek + 1\/4 rice.","If you\u2019re having bistek for lunch or dinner, keep snacks lighter (e.g., fruit or yogurt) so your day stays balanced.","Watch frequency: enjoy bistek regularly, but not every day\u2014rotate with fish, chicken, eggs, or tofu."]},"data_quality":{"source":"Community recipe estimate","source_code":"community_recipe","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\/bistek?agent=true"}}}
