Per 100 g, it has 537 kcal, 60.7 g carbohydrates (with 41.9 g sugar), and 30.1 g fat (including 4.18 g saturated fat). The good side: pili nuts contribute dietary fiber (4.1 g), which can help you feel fuller, and the fats can support satiety. The caution: frequent snacking on high-sugar, high-calorie treats can make it easier to exceed daily energy needs, and too much saturated fat and sugar over time may affect heart health. Since it\u2019s a snack, the key is keeping portions small and not making it a daily habit.","healthier_tips":["Use it as an occasional snack, not a regular daily one\u2014especially if you already had rice\/bread and other sweets in the day.","Portion guide: try a small piece (about 20\u201330 g) instead of eating the whole bar. This helps control calories and sugar.","Pair it with something that adds balance: have it after a meal or with fruit or plain yogurt to slow down sugar spikes and improve fullness.","Watch your other snacks: if you take this, choose lighter snacks for the rest of the day (e.g., nuts in small amounts, fruit, or unsweetened drinks).","Choose water or unsweetened drinks instead of sugary drinks to reduce total sugar intake."]},"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-pili-nut?agent=true"}}}
