It also has some carbohydrates for energy. However, per 100g it\u2019s relatively high in sodium (about 939 mg) and saturated fat (about 3.4 g), and it contains cholesterol (about 46 mg). This matters because too much sodium can push blood pressure up for some people, and too much saturated fat can make it harder to keep heart health in check. The good part: it has a small amount of fiber (about 0.6 g), but it\u2019s still best paired with vegetables and balanced portions.","healthier_tips":["Portion guide: Start with about 1\/2 to 1 cup (or roughly a palm-sized serving) as part of your 3 full meals, not as the only food on the plate.","Balance your plate: Pair embotido with lots of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., lettuce, cabbage, pechay, broccoli) and a smaller serving of rice or other starchy food.","Watch sodium: If you\u2019re buying or eating it from restaurants, consider choosing smaller portions or alternating with lower-sodium viands.","Choose smarter versions: When cooking at home, use leaner meat, add more vegetables, and reduce salty seasonings.","For snacks: Keep snacks lighter (fruit, yogurt, or nuts in small portions) so your day stays balanced.","Enjoy it regularly, but keep it in moderation as part of a varied diet."]},"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\/embotido?agent=true"}}}
