It also provides vitamin- and antioxidant-rich fruit components that help overall wellness. For energy, it has carbohydrates (23.8 g) and sugar (11.9 g), so it\u2019s best to enjoy it as part of your meals\/snacks rather than as \u201cextra\u201d on top of already-sweet foods. It\u2019s very low in fat and has very low sodium, which is helpful for heart-friendly eating. If you\u2019re watching saturated fat, guava is low overall, but note that it does contain a small amount of saturated fat (0.11 g per 100 g).","healthier_tips":["For snacks: have about 1 small to 1 medium serving (e.g., 1\u20132 cups sliced guava) between meals.","If making juice: prefer whole fruit or keep juice portions small\u2014blending can reduce the \u201cfullness\u201d from fiber.","Pair guava with protein or healthy fats for better balance (e.g., guava with plain yogurt or a handful of nuts).","Since it has natural sugar, keep sweet spreads (jam) and sweetened drinks smaller portions, especially if you already had dessert.","Include it regularly: aim for 3 full meals + 1\u20132 snacks a day, and use guava as one of your fruit 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\/guava-red?agent=true"}}}
