It also has a good amount of fat (29.9 g) with some saturated fat (4.15 g). The fiber is modest (4.1 g), which can help a little with fullness, but the high sugar means it\u2019s best kept as an occasional treat\u2014especially if you\u2019re having it between meals. On the plus side, peanuts provide fats that can be satisfying, but the overall nutrition here is still more \u201csweet snack\u201d than \u201ceveryday food.\u201d","healthier_tips":["Keep it small: treat it like a snack, not a meal\u2014aim for a few bites or a small piece, especially if you already have carbs in your day.","Pair it wisely: if you want something sweet, choose it after a meal or with a balanced snack (e.g., fruit or yogurt) to avoid a big sugar spike on an empty stomach.","Watch frequency: limit to occasional days within your 3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks routine.","Balance the rest of the day: when you have a candy bar, choose less sugary drinks\/desserts and more fiber-rich foods (vegetables, legumes, whole grains) for your other meals\/snacks.","Check labels: compare sugar and serving size\u2014sometimes \u201csmaller servings\u201d still taste good."]},"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\/candy-bar-peanut?agent=true"}}}
