They also contain healthy-to-okay fats (about 1g total fat) and cholesterol (about 31mg). At the same time, clams can be sodium-rich (about 457mg per 100g), especially if cooked with salty sauces or broth. Since it\u2019s seafood, it\u2019s best to enjoy it regularly but in the right portion and with balanced meals (3 full meals plus 1\u20132 snacks a day), so you get the benefits without overdoing salt or rich add-ons. Everything is fine in moderation, and you can pair it with vegetables and rice in sensible portions.","healthier_tips":["For a balanced plate: pair clams with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, tomatoes, or mixed greens) and a sensible serving of rice or root crops.","If the dish is salty (like ginataan-style or with lots of patis\/soy), use less sauce and add more water\/vegetables to stretch flavor.","Watch portion: aim for a serving size that fits your meal\u2014clams can be your protein, not the only item on the plate.","Choose cooking methods like ginisa with lots of veggies, sinigang, or steamed rather than very oily versions.","If you have high blood pressure or you\u2019re watching sodium, consider smaller portions and less salty broth."]},"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-kanturi?agent=true"}}}
