It also provides cholesterol (about 25 mg) and sodium (about 506 mg), so it\u2019s best to enjoy it in reasonable portions\u2014especially if you\u2019re watching salt or have high blood pressure. It has some carbohydrates (7.3g) but no fiber, so pairing it with vegetables, fruits, or rice\/whole grains helps make the meal more balanced. It also has small amounts of fat (0.8g) including saturated fat (0.16g), so choose cooking methods that don\u2019t add too much oil.","healthier_tips":["For your 3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks a day, use imbao as the protein part of your main meal (e.g., with rice and lots of veggies).","Keep the sodium in check: go easy on patis\/soy sauce, and prefer ginger, garlic, calamansi, and herbs for flavor.","Add fiber for better fullness: pair with malunggay, kangkong, pechay, or ensaladang gulay.","Watch portion size: since it has sodium and cholesterol, aim for a reasonable serving and don\u2019t make it the only food you eat daily.","If you\u2019re having it as a snack, keep it small and pair with water or unsweetened drinks."]},"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?agent=true"}}}
