It also has low carbohydrates, which fits well with a balanced 3-meals-plus-snacks day. For fats, it has some total fat (about 2.7 g per 100 g) and saturated fat (about 0.78 g per 100 g), so it\u2019s best to pair it with plenty of vegetables and choose cooking methods like grilling, steaming, or boiling to keep the meal lighter. Sodium is relatively low (about 48 mg per 100 g) when it\u2019s not heavily seasoned, but sodium can increase a lot if it\u2019s marinated or cooked with salty sauces.","healthier_tips":["For meals, aim for 1 palm-sized portion of chicken breast per meal, then add 1\u20132 cups of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, kangkong, broccoli, carrots) and a sensible serving of rice or other carbs.","Use low-salt seasonings: garlic, onion, herbs, calamansi, vinegar, and pepper instead of salty sauces.","Cook with less added oil: grill, bake, air-fry, steam, or stir-fry with minimal oil.","If you\u2019re having it as a snack, keep the portion smaller and pair with fruit or veggies (not just chicken alone)."]},"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\/chicken-pullet-breast?agent=true"}}}
