It also has a lot of carbohydrates (63.4 g) with a small amount of fiber (2.9 g) and low sugar (1.3 g). The biggest caution is sodium (962 mg), which can add up quickly if you snack often. On the plus side, crackers can be a convenient \u201ccarb booster\u201d for busy days, but because they\u2019re salty and calorie-heavy, they\u2019re best kept to small portions so they don\u2019t crowd out more nutrient-rich foods in your 3 full meals plus 1\u20132 snacks a day.","healthier_tips":["Keep portions small: try 1 small handful or about 20\u201330 g per snack, then pair with something filling like fruit or yogurt.","Balance your snack: add protein (egg, fish, chicken, or yogurt) and fiber (banana, apple, carrots, or cucumber) to help you feel satisfied.","Watch sodium: if you eat salted crackers, go lighter on other salty items that day (instant noodles, chips, processed viands).","Choose better options when available: look for crackers that are lower in sodium or made with whole grains.","Drink water: it helps with the salty taste and supports overall hydration.","Everything is okay in moderation\u2014aim for snacks that support balance, not just crunch."]},"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\/cracker-salted-round?agent=true"}}}
