They also have a small amount of fat (about 1.2g) with some saturated fat (about 0.23g). The sugar content is moderate (about 11.3g), so it\u2019s best to pair them with a balanced snack (like fruit or yogurt) rather than eating a large portion alone. Sodium is very low (about 5mg), which is good for everyday choices. Since chestnuts are energy-dense, keeping portions reasonable helps you fit them well into your 3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks routine.","healthier_tips":["Keep a practical portion: try 1 small handful (about 30\u201350g) per snack, especially if you\u2019re also having rice or bread at meals.","Pair with protein or fiber to stay satisfied longer: e.g., chestnuts with plain yogurt, fresh fruit, or a small serving of cheese.","Choose roasted (not heavily sweetened) versions when possible, and avoid adding extra sugar.","If you\u2019re watching blood sugar, enjoy chestnuts as a snack and balance the rest of the day with more vegetables and lean protein."]},"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\/chestnut-roasted?agent=true"}}}
