The caution: frequent intake of processed meats can make it harder to keep saturated fat and sodium within a healthy range, especially when you already have salty viands and snacks in the day.","healthier_tips":["Use it as a side or add-on, not the main viand. Try 1\u20132 tablespoons (or a small serving) per meal, then fill the plate with rice plus vegetables.","Balance your plate: aim for 1\/2 vegetables (non-starchy like pechay, cabbage, carrots, sayote), 1\/4 protein (luncheon meat or other lean protein), and 1\/4 carbs (rice, noodles, or bread).","Watch sodium: if you have this, choose less salty ulam and sauces for the rest of the day.","Pair with fiber: add veggies or a fruit snack (like banana or orange) so your meals are more filling and balanced.","For your 3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks routine, keep processed meat to occasional use and rotate with fish, chicken, eggs, tofu, or legumes."]},"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\/luncheon-meat-pork-chinese-style?agent=true"}}}
