It also has some fiber (about 2.2 g per 100 g), which supports better digestion. On the other hand, it\u2019s also relatively higher in sodium (about 697 mg) and saturated fat (about 4.16 g), so frequent large portions may add up\u2014especially if you already get a lot of salt and fatty foods from other meals. The good news: everything fits when portion and frequency are balanced.","healthier_tips":["Portion: keep it to about 1 sandwich (or smaller if it\u2019s a bigger bread type) especially if you\u2019re also eating rice or noodles in the same day.","Balance your plate: pair with fruit or a vegetable side (e.g., cucumber, lettuce, tomato) to increase fiber and micronutrients.","Choose smarter bread: if available, pick whole wheat or bread with higher fiber.","Watch salt: if the pimiento spread is salty, use a lighter spread or add more fresh veggies for flavor.","Snack vs meal: enjoy it as a snack or light meal, not as the main food every day\u2014aim for variety across the week."]},"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\/cheese-pimiento-sandwich?agent=true"}}}
