But per 100g, it\u2019s also high in sodium (about 1895 mg) and has some saturated fat (about 0.55 g). If you eat it often or in big servings, the sodium can add up, which may not be ideal for people watching blood pressure. Since it has very little carbs and no fiber, it works best as a snack paired with fiber-rich foods (like fruits or veggies) to balance your day\u2019s meals.","healthier_tips":["Keep portions small: think 1 small serving (not a whole pack) especially if you\u2019re having it as a snack between your 3 full meals.","Balance your snack: pair jerky with fruit (banana, apple, mango) or vegetables (cucumber, carrots) to add fiber and keep you satisfied.","Hydrate: drink water with your snack to help with the salty taste.","Choose lower-sodium options when available, or look for \u201cless salt\u201d versions.","Spread it out: if you eat jerky today, consider choosing a different snack tomorrow (like yogurt, nuts in small amounts, or boiled eggs) to vary nutrients."]},"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\/carabeef-jerky?agent=true"}}}
