However, it\u2019s also higher in saturated fat (about 4.3 g) and cholesterol (about 9 mg), and it can be high in sodium (about 270 mg) because of the cured meat and seasoning. If you eat it often or in big portions, the saturated fat and sodium can add up\u2014so it\u2019s best as an occasional part of your meals, not every day.","healthier_tips":["Keep portions balanced: treat carbonara as your carb\/main for one meal, and add non-starchy vegetables (e.g., lettuce, broccoli, carrots, cabbage) on the side.","Choose a lighter version when you can: use less bacon or swap with lean meat, and go easy on cream\u2014milk-based sauce can still be tasty.","Watch sodium: use less added salt and avoid extra salty toppings (e.g., extra cheese or processed add-ons).","Pair it with a snack plan: if you have carbonara for lunch or dinner, keep snacks simpler (fruit, yogurt, or nuts in small portions) so your day stays balanced."]},"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\/carbonara-prep-w-mlp?agent=true"}}}
