With 52.9 g sugar and 163 mg sodium per 100 g, frequent or large servings can make it harder to keep your daily sugar and salt intake balanced. They also have 6.5 g total fat with 2.16 g saturated fat, so it\u2019s best to enjoy them in smaller portions. On the plus side, they can fit into a balanced day when paired with fiber- and protein-rich foods so your meals and snacks stay more filling.","healthier_tips":["For merienda, keep it to a small portion (e.g., 1\u20132 pieces or about a small handful) instead of eating a full pack.","Pair with protein and\/or fiber to balance the sweetness\u2014try with milk\/Greek yogurt, nuts, or a fruit like banana or apple.","Choose water or unsweetened drinks instead of sugary drinks to reduce total sugar for the day.","If you\u2019re having cookies, adjust the rest of the day: keep your next snack lighter (more fruit or yogurt, less sweet).","Try not to make cookies a daily habit\u2014aim for occasional treats within your 3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks schedule."]},"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-lady-finger?agent=true"}}}
