However, this version is also very high in fat (about 104 g) and saturated fat (about 28.7 g), with high cholesterol (about 198 mg) and a lot of sodium (about 2,290 mg). Too much sodium can make it harder to manage blood pressure, and too much saturated fat can affect heart health over time. The carbs (about 69 g) and sugar (about 23.6 g) also mean it\u2019s best to keep portions balanced, especially if you already have rice and other carb-heavy sides in the same meal.","healthier_tips":["Portion first: Serve a smaller ladle of menudo and pair it with more vegetables.","Balance the plate: For your 3 full meals, keep rice to a reasonable serving and add a side of fresh salad or non-starchy veggies.","Lower the fat: Choose leaner cuts of pork, and skim off excess oil from the sauce if it\u2019s oily.","Watch salt: Go easy on added salt\/seasoning; let the tomato flavor do more of the work.","Mind the sweetness: If using raisins, use a smaller amount to help reduce added sugar.","Frequency: Enjoy menudo, but not every day\u2014have it a few times a month, especially if you\u2019re also eating other salty or fatty ulam."]},"data_quality":{"source":"Community recipe estimate","source_code":"community_recipe","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\/menudo?agent=true"}}}
