In the nutrient data, it also has cholesterol (296 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (1.55 g per 100 g), plus sodium (74 mg per 100 g). Because of these, it\u2019s best to enjoy it in reasonable portions and not every day\u2014especially if you\u2019re watching cholesterol or saturated fat. The good part: it has low carbs (3.1 g) and no sugar, so it can fit well with balanced meals when paired with fiber-rich sides.","healthier_tips":["Keep portions small: aim for about 1\/2 to 1 palm-sized serving per meal, then balance the plate with vegetables and rice or other carbs.","Pair with non-starchy veggies (e.g., kangkong, pechay, broccoli, carrots) to add fiber and help make meals more filling.","Cook with less oil: use saut\u00e9ing with minimal oil, or stewing with plenty of vegetables and broth.","Don\u2019t make it a daily habit\u2014include it occasionally while rotating with other protein sources like fish, chicken, eggs, tofu, and beans.","If you\u2019re eating liver, keep the rest of the day balanced: choose lighter snacks (fruit, yogurt, nuts in small portions) and avoid extra salty processed foods."]},"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\/lamb-liver?agent=true"}}}
