The key is balance\u2014use it as a spread, not as a main source of calories, and keep portions small.","healthier_tips":["Use a thin layer (think 1\u20132 teaspoons) on bread or toast instead of thick spreads.","Choose lower-saturated-fat or trans-fat-free options when available.","Pair with nutrient-rich foods: whole wheat bread, peanut butter (if portioned), or avocado; add fruit or vegetables for fiber.","Since you\u2019ll have 3 full meals plus 1\u20132 snacks daily, keep margarine to one small use per meal\/snack and balance the rest of your plate with rice\/vegetables\/protein.","If you\u2019re monitoring blood pressure, be mindful of sodium from spreads and other 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\/margarine-fortified?agent=true"}}}
