The dietary fiber (about 5g) can support better digestion and help you feel fuller. However, this version is also high in fat (about 10g total fat, with 8.5g saturated fat) and has sodium (about 295mg), which can add up if you eat it often\u2014especially alongside other salty or oily snacks. The good news: when you enjoy it in the right portion and frequency, it can fit into a balanced day.","healthier_tips":["Keep it as a snack (not your main meal) and pair it with something that adds protein and fiber, like a glass of milk\/yogurt or a small serving of eggs, fish, or beans.","Watch portion size: since it\u2019s calorie-dense, aim for a smaller serving (e.g., a few pieces) and balance the rest of your day with lighter meals.","If you can, choose less-oily versions or air-fried\/baked alternatives to reduce saturated fat.","Balance your sodium: avoid pairing with very salty drinks or dips; choose water or unsweetened drinks.","Since you\u2019ll have 3 full meals plus 1\u20132 snacks daily, place cassava fritters on only one snack slot when possible, not both."]},"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\/cassava-fritter?agent=true"}}}
