Since it has no carbohydrates and no sugar, it\u2019s a good choice when you want to keep your meals balanced without adding extra carbs. It also has low total fat, which can fit well in a healthy eating pattern. One thing to watch is sodium (about 107mg per 100g): if your mojarra is fried or salted, the sodium can go up, so it\u2019s best to keep the seasoning and sauces in check.","healthier_tips":["Pair mojarra with 1\u20132 cups of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, talong, ampalaya) and 1\/2\u20131 cup rice depending on your hunger and activity.","Choose grilled, steamed, or lightly fried versions over heavily battered or very oily cooking.","Go easy on salty sauces (toyo, patis, bagoong) and try flavoring with calamansi, garlic, herbs, and spices.","For daily routine: include mojarra as part of your 3 full meals, and if you need a snack, pair it with fruit or yogurt\u2014not more salty sides."]},"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\/mojarra-whipfin?agent=true"}}}
