In 100g, it has about 122 kcal and 3.8g fat, with 0.78g saturated fat\u2014so it can fit well in meals when portioned. It also has 453mg sodium, which matters if you\u2019re watching blood pressure or if your dish is salty (e.g., with bagoong, patis, or lots of seasoning). It has 8.1g carbohydrates but no sugar and 0g fiber, so pairing it with vegetables and a fiber-rich carb (like brown rice or whole grains) helps make the meal more balanced.","healthier_tips":["Keep portions reasonable: crab is best as a protein main with a serving size you can repeat across meals (not the whole plate as the only food).","Balance the plate: add non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, kangkong, ampalaya, okra) and a fiber-rich carb for your 3 full meals.","Go lighter on salty seasonings to manage sodium\u2014taste first before adding bagoong\/patis or extra salt.","For snacks (1\u20132\/day), choose something simple like fruit or plain yogurt; crab is usually better as part of a full meal.","Enjoy it regularly with variety: rotate with other lean proteins (fish, chicken, eggs, tofu) so your intake stays balanced."]},"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-shore?agent=true"}}}
