In this boiled version, calories are relatively low (about 47 kcal per 100 g) and fat is minimal (0.6 g), with a small amount of saturated fat. They also provide cholesterol (about 21 mg per 100 g), so it\u2019s best to pair clams with plenty of fiber-rich sides (like vegetables) and keep portions reasonable within your daily meals. Carbs are present but not high (4.1 g), and there\u2019s no sugar listed, which makes it a practical choice for balanced eating.","healthier_tips":["For a balanced plate, pair boiled clams with 1\u20132 cups of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, sayote, okra) and a sensible serving of rice if you need it.","Use the broth too, but watch added salt (especially if you\u2019re having it as a regular snack or side).","Since clams are protein, aim to include them in your main meals (breakfast\/lunch\/dinner) and not as the only food\u2014add vegetables and\/or a whole-food carb like brown rice or kamote in appropriate portions.","If you\u2019re eating clams with other seafood or fatty viands, spread them across the week so your overall fat intake stays comfortable."]},"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-imbao-boiled?agent=true"}}}
