They also have a small amount of fiber, which helps with digestion, though it\u2019s not very high\u2014so pairing with vegetables and lean protein is important. Sodium is very low in this plain form, which is good for keeping your meals lighter on salt. Since it\u2019s mostly carbs, your portion matters\u2014especially if you\u2019re having it as a regular meal or snack.","healthier_tips":["Pair it with non-starchy veggies (e.g., pechay, cabbage, carrots, mushrooms) and lean protein (chicken, tofu, eggs, fish) to make the meal more filling.","Use a balanced plate: noodles as the carb base, then add lots of vegetables and protein.","Watch portion size if you\u2019re having noodles at lunch or dinner\u2014too much can crowd out other healthier foods.","If you add sauce, choose lighter options (less salty soy sauce or broth) and add flavor with garlic, ginger, calamansi, and herbs.","For your daily pattern (3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks), keep noodles as part of a meal, not the only thing on the plate."]},"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\/noodles-mung-bean-starch-boiled?agent=true"}}}
