Too much added sugar too often can make it harder to manage daily calorie intake and can affect blood sugar control. It also has saturated fat (about 0.87 g) and sodium (about 173 mg), which are better kept in balance\u2014especially if you already get these from other snacks or processed foods. The good part: if you enjoy it in small portions and not every day, it can fit into a balanced eating pattern (3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks).","healthier_tips":["Keep portions small: try 1\u20132 small squares or about 20\u201330 g, especially if you\u2019re having it as a snack.","Pair it with something filling to balance the snack (e.g., a glass of milk or yogurt, or a piece of fruit) so you\u2019re not relying only on sugar.","Choose less frequent treats: reserve fudge for occasional cravings rather than everyday.","Watch the rest of the day: if you have fudge, keep other snacks lighter (less sweet drinks, pastries, or candies).","If you\u2019re making it at home, consider reducing added sugar or using less sweet ingredients to lower the sugar load."]},"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\/fudge-milk?agent=true"}}}
