It also provides cholesterol (84 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (0.33 g), so it\u2019s best to pair it with plenty of vegetables and use reasonable portions. It has carbohydrates (11.8 g) but no sugar and no fiber (0 g fiber), so you\u2019ll still want fruits and veggies in your plate. Sodium is relatively low (34 mg per 100 g), but the overall sodium can increase depending on how it\u2019s seasoned (e.g., patis, bagoong, broth).","healthier_tips":["For a balanced day (3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks), include tulya in one main meal and add 1\u20132 cups of vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, okra) to boost fiber.","Use a reasonable portion (about 1\/2 to 1 cup cooked, depending on your appetite and what else is on the table).","Go easy on salty seasonings; adjust with herbs, calamansi, and spices instead of extra salty sauces.","If you\u2019re having rice, aim for one serving of rice and let the ulam (tulya) plus vegetables do the heavy lifting for fullness.","Enjoy it regularly, but keep it varied\u2014mix with fish, chicken, eggs, and legumes 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\/clam-freshwater-tulya?agent=true"}}}
