It\u2019s also low in fat and sodium, which is good for everyday eating. Since it has naturally high sugar (and calories), portion size matters\u2014especially if you\u2019re having it alongside other sweet snacks or drinks.","healthier_tips":["For snacks, aim for about 1 small bowl (roughly 1 cup or less) instead of large servings.","Pair lychee with something filling: plain yogurt, milk, or a small handful of nuts to balance your snack.","Choose water or unsweetened drinks, not sweetened beverages, to keep your total sugar in check.","If you\u2019re planning dessert, treat lychee as the \u201csweet part\u201d and reduce other sugary items that meal.","Keep it consistent with your routine: 3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks\u2014use lychee for one snack, not multiple sweet snacks in a day."]},"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\/lycheelitchi?agent=true"}}}
