However, it\u2019s high in sodium (3391 mg per 100g) and also contains cholesterol (93 mg) and some saturated fat. If eaten often or in large amounts, the sodium can be too much for the day, especially if you already have salty items (like bagoong, instant noodles, processed meats) in your 3 meals and snacks. The good part: when used as a flavoring rather than a main viand, it can fit well into a balanced diet.","healthier_tips":["Use a small amount (start with 1\u20132 teaspoons) as a seasoning, not as the main portion.","Balance your plate: pair with rice + lots of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, talong, okra) and a lighter cooking method (steam, saut\u00e9 with less oil).","For snacks, choose lower-salt options (fruit, yogurt, unsalted nuts) so your total sodium for the day stays reasonable.","If you\u2019re watching blood pressure, consider rinsing\/soaking if the product allows, or alternate with less-salty flavor boosters like calamansi, vinegar, garlic, and herbs.","Keep frequency reasonable\u2014enjoy it, but don\u2019t make it a daily \u201cmain\u201d topping."]},"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\/fish-paste-ginamos?agent=true"}}}
