This serving also has a small amount of fiber (about 1.6 g), which can support better digestion. On the other hand, it\u2019s relatively low in fat and cholesterol, but it can still add up in calories and carbohydrates if portions are large\u2014especially if you pair it with salty sauces or fatty toppings. Sodium here is low (about 13 mg), but many noodle\/rice meals become higher in sodium once seasonings and sauces are added.","healthier_tips":["Use a balanced plate: pair noodles\/rice with ulam (vegetables) and a protein (fish, chicken, tofu, eggs).","Watch portions: start with about 1 cup cooked per meal, then adjust based on hunger and activity.","Add fiber: include more non-starchy veggies (e.g., pechay, kangkong, carrots, cabbage) and beans when possible.","Choose lighter flavoring: go easy on salty sauces (soy sauce, seasoning mixes) and try herbs, calamansi, garlic, and vinegar for taste.","If you snack, keep it simple: small fruit or yogurt instead of extra rice\/noodles so you don\u2019t double up on carbs."]},"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-rice?agent=true"}}}
