It also has some fat\u2014including saturated fat\u2014and a small amount of carbs. It\u2019s relatively lower in fiber (0 g), so pairing it with vegetables and other fiber-rich foods helps your meals feel fuller and supports healthy digestion. It also has sodium (about 175 mg per 100 g), so if it\u2019s prepared with salty seasonings or sauces, keep an eye on the overall salt in the day.","healthier_tips":["Pair with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, kangkong, ampalaya) and a fiber source (e.g., brown rice, whole grains, or beans) to balance the low fiber.","Use lighter seasoning when possible (less soy sauce, bagoong, or salty broth). Flavor with garlic, onion, herbs, and spices.","For your daily pattern (3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks), treat lamb lung as a main protein for one meal, then fill the rest of the plate with vegetables and a sensible portion of rice or other carbs.","If you\u2019re watching cholesterol or heart health, choose smaller portions and rotate with other leaner protein options (fish, chicken, tofu)."]},"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-lung?agent=true"}}}
