In the nutrient profile, it has low carbohydrates and no fiber\/sugar, so it won\u2019t add much to blood sugar. It also has some fat (0.6 g per 100 g) and saturated fat (0.15 g), plus cholesterol (100 mg) and sodium (127 mg). This means it can fit well in meals, but it\u2019s best to keep portions reasonable\u2014especially if you\u2019re watching cholesterol or salt intake. Since it\u2019s a protein food, pairing it with vegetables and rice (in proper portions) can make your meal more balanced.","healthier_tips":["Keep portions moderate: aim for about 1 palm-sized serving of frog meat per meal, then fill the rest of your plate with vegetables and a measured amount of rice or other carbs.","Balance the meal: add non-starchy veggies (e.g., kangkong, pechay, ampalaya, okra) to boost fiber and fullness.","Watch how it\u2019s cooked: choose less oil methods (stir-fry with minimal oil, grilling, or stewing) and go easy on salty sauces.","If you eat it as a main protein, keep it to not every day; rotate with other leaner protein sources (fish, chicken, tofu, eggs) across the week.","For your daily pattern (3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks), use frog meat mainly during meals, not as frequent snacks."]},"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\/frog-meat?agent=true"}}}
