It\u2019s low in fat and has no fiber, so it may not keep you full for long. Still, it can fit into your day when you balance it with meals that have fiber-rich foods (like fruits and vegetables) and protein (like eggs, fish, chicken, or tofu). Sodium is very low here, so the main thing to watch is the added sugar and total calories.","healthier_tips":["Keep it as an occasional snack, not a daily habit\u2014especially if you\u2019re also having other sweets.","Pair it with something filling: have it after a meal, or pair with fruit or a small serving of yogurt\/peanuts to balance your snack.","Watch portion size: choose smaller servings (or share) to reduce sugar per day.","If you\u2019re craving something sweet, consider alternatives like fresh fruit, halo-halo with less syrup, or homemade fruit pops with less added sugar.","Plan your day: since you usually have 3 meals plus 1\u20132 snacks, reserve your sweet treat for one snack slot."]},"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\/ice-candy?agent=true"}}}
