In your body, the carbs can help give energy, especially if you eat them around meals or as a planned snack. However, this type of cookie can be high in sugar and calories per 100 g, and it also has sodium (318 mg) and saturated fat (1.51 g). Too much of these, especially when you already have rice, bread, or noodles in the day, can make it easier to exceed your daily needs for sugar, salt, and calories. The good part: you still get some energy, but the fiber is low (0.2 g), so it may not keep you full for long\u2014better to pair it with more filling foods.","healthier_tips":["Keep portions small: aim for about 1\u20132 small pieces (not a whole pack) and treat it as your snack, not a main meal.","Pair it to feel fuller: have it with plain yogurt, milk, or a piece of fruit (like banana or apple) instead of eating cookies alone.","Balance your day: if you eat cookies, reduce other sweet carbs in the same meal (e.g., less rice or skip extra bread).","Choose wisely when possible: look for options with lower sugar and less salt, and prefer those with more fiber (if available).","Timing helps: enjoy cookies during mid-morning or afternoon snack (1\u20132 snacks\/day), so you\u2019re not snacking late at night."]},"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\/cookies-arrowroot?agent=true"}}}
