It also has a small amount of fiber (0.2 g) and very little fat and sodium. Because it\u2019s high in sugar, using too much can add extra calories and make it easier to exceed daily sugar needs\u2014especially if you\u2019re already having sweet drinks, desserts, or sweetened snacks. The good part: when used in small amounts, it can help you enjoy food without needing to rely on large portions of other high-calorie sweets.","healthier_tips":["Use a smaller amount: start with 1 teaspoon (about 7 g) and adjust to taste.","Pair with fiber\/protein: add honey to plain yogurt, oatmeal, or fruit instead of drinking it straight or mixing into sweet beverages.","Watch the \u201csnack math\u201d: if you use honey in one snack, choose less sweet options for the next snack.","Prefer whole foods: sweeten oatmeal or fruit rather than choosing honey as the main sweetener for multiple items in the day.","Keep meals balanced: aim for 3 full meals plus 1\u20132 snacks, with each meal\/snack including a source of protein and\/or fiber to help keep you satisfied."]},"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\/honey?agent=true"}}}
