In a 100 g serving, it provides about 105 kcal and 1.9 g fat (with 0.18 g saturated fat). It also has cholesterol (65 mg) and low sodium (74 mg) per serving, which is helpful if you\u2019re mindful of salt from other foods. The carbohydrates (13 g) are present but not the main focus\u2014clams still work best as a protein add-on. Since fiber is 0 g, pair it with vegetables or whole grains to balance your plate.","healthier_tips":["For a balanced day (3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks), use boiled clams as your protein at lunch or dinner. Aim for a serving size you can pair with 1\u20132 cups of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, talong, okra) and 1\/2\u20131 cup cooked rice or a small portion of whole grains. If you add dipping sauce, keep it lighter on salt (watch patis\/soy sauce). Since clams have no fiber, don\u2019t skip veggies\u2014this helps with fullness and better overall meal balance."]},"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\/clam-freshwater-tulya-boiled?agent=true"}}}
