It also has some fat (about 5.3 g) and saturated fat (about 1.6 g), plus cholesterol (about 200 mg) and sodium (about 629 mg). For health, the key is how often and how much you eat\u2014especially if you\u2019re having it alongside your usual meals and snacks. Choosing smaller portions helps keep added sugar and saturated fat from stacking up, while still letting you enjoy dessert.","healthier_tips":["Keep portions small: try 1\u20132 small slices instead of a big serving, especially on days you also eat rice and other carb-heavy foods.","Pair it with something that adds balance: have it after a meal or with fruit and plain yogurt (instead of another sweet drink).","Watch drinks: choose water, unsweetened tea, or black coffee rather than soda or sweetened beverages.","Plan your day: if you\u2019re having cake for a snack, reduce the chance of another sugary snack later (aim for 3 full meals + 1\u20132 snacks).","If you can, pick options with less sugar or add-ons like berries or nuts in small amounts for better fullness."]},"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\/cake-sponge?agent=true"}}}
