It also has some fat, including saturated fat, so it\u2019s best to keep portions reasonable and avoid pairing it with very fatty sides. The sodium is moderate to high (247 mg per 100 g), so if it\u2019s salted, bagoong-based, or heavily seasoned, watch your overall salt intake across the day\u2014especially if you also eat salty snacks. Since it has no carbs, sugar, and fiber in this data, it works best when paired with fiber-rich vegetables and smart carb portions for balanced meals.","healthier_tips":["For a balanced 3-meals + 1\u20132 snacks day: use crab as your protein, then add non-starchy veggies (e.g., kangkong, pechay, ampalaya) and a measured carb (e.g., 1\/2\u20131 cup cooked rice or kamote).","Choose cooking methods like boiled, steamed, or grilled with minimal oil.","If the dish is salty (e.g., with bagoong or lots of seasoning), reduce the sauce and add more vegetables to stretch the meal.","Watch portion size: start with about 1 palm-sized serving (around 100\u2013150 g cooked) per meal, then adjust based on your hunger and activity."]},"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\/crab-mudmangrove-wo-fat?agent=true"}}}
