It also tends to be high in total fat and saturated fat, which can be a concern for heart health when eaten often. The sodium level is also moderate to high, so it\u2019s better not to pair it with other salty snacks. On the plus side, it provides carbohydrates for quick energy, but it has low fiber, so it may not keep you full for long. The sugar content (from the glaze) adds sweetness, so balancing your day\u2019s snacks helps keep your overall sugar intake in check.","healthier_tips":["Keep it as an occasional snack, not a daily habit\u2014pair it with a fruit or a glass of unsweetened drink to balance your snack.","Watch portion size: try 1 small piece instead of a big serving, especially if you already had rice or bread earlier in the day.","Choose lighter pairings: avoid salty sides (chips, instant noodles) the same day.","If you\u2019re having bunuelos for a snack, consider making your next meal more balanced with vegetables and lean protein (e.g., fish, chicken, tofu) to improve fullness.","For home versions, you can reduce oil and sugar in the recipe or opt for a lighter coating."]},"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\/bunuelos?agent=true"}}}
