The fiber (about 6.9 g) can help you feel fuller and support smoother digestion. It also has low sugar listed (about 2.7 g) and low sodium (about 92 mg). The main thing to watch is that it still has high carbohydrates (about 74.5 g per 100 g), so portion size matters\u2014especially if you\u2019re having it alongside other snacks or rice-based meals.","healthier_tips":["Keep it as a snack, not a full meal replacement\u2014pair it with something protein-rich if you can (e.g., a small serving of milk\/yogurt or nuts) to balance your snack.","Choose bars with less added sugar when available, and check if it\u2019s sweetened heavily.","Watch portions: since it\u2019s carbohydrate-heavy, try 1 small bar or a smaller serving, especially on days you also eat other sweet snacks.","If you\u2019re adding toppings (condensed milk, syrup, fruit with lots of sugar), go easy\u2014toppings can quickly raise sugar and calories."]},"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\/ceylon-mossagar-agar-bar?agent=true"}}}
