It also has some sodium, which can add up when combined with other salty foods. On the positive side, it\u2019s low in fat and has no cholesterol, so it won\u2019t directly add much to heart risk from fat. Still, since it has high carbs and very low fiber, it may not keep you full for long compared with snacks that include fruit, nuts, or yogurt.","healthier_tips":["Keep it as an occasional treat and pair it with a more filling snack (e.g., fruit or yogurt) so you stay satisfied between meals.","Watch portion size: instead of eating a lot in one sitting, try a small serving and save the rest for later.","Balance your day: if you have candy in your 1\u20132 snacks, choose lower-sugar options for the other snack (like unsweetened milk, boiled peanuts, or fresh fruit).","For better fullness, add fiber to your overall eating pattern (vegetables, beans, whole grains) so your meals and snacks support steadier energy.","Choose water or unsweetened drinks with your snack to avoid extra sugar from beverages."]},"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-pulled?agent=true"}}}
