The nutrients also matter: it has fiber (about 2.3 g per 100 g) which supports digestion, but it also tends to be higher in saturated fat (about 2.7 g) and sodium (about 320 mg). It also has cholesterol (about 18 mg) and sugar (about 10.1 g), so it\u2019s best to enjoy it in a balanced way\u2014especially if you\u2019re having it as a snack or part of your daily meals.","healthier_tips":["Choose whole wheat or high-fiber bread to boost fiber.","Use cheese in a thinner layer (or mix with a bit of low-fat cheese) to reduce saturated fat.","Add vegetables like lettuce, tomato, cucumber, or bell peppers for extra fiber and volume.","Watch the sodium by limiting salty add-ons (like processed meats or extra spreads).","For your daily pattern (3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks), keep the sandwich to a reasonable portion and pair it with fruit or a glass of milk\/unsweetened drink if needed."]},"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-sandwich?agent=true"}}}
