In your nutrition data, oysters have low fat (about 1.7 g per 100 g) but also some saturated fat and cholesterol\u2014so it\u2019s best to enjoy them as part of a balanced plate. They\u2019re also relatively high in sodium (about 882 mg per 100 g), so your overall salt intake matters, especially if you\u2019re eating soups, bagoong, or processed sides the same day. Since oysters are protein-rich, they can help you feel satisfied when paired with rice in proper portions and plenty of vegetables.","healthier_tips":["For a balanced plate: aim for 1\/4 of the plate oyster or other protein, 1\/4 rice or starchy carbs, and 1\/2 non-starchy vegetables (like kangkong, pechay, or labanos).","If you\u2019re having oyster in sinigang or soup, go easy on added salt and consider using more sourness (sinigang mix, calamansi) and aromatics for flavor.","Because sodium is higher, watch your day\u2019s total: if you had salted fish, bagoong, or instant noodles earlier, reduce other salty foods.","Keep portions steady: enjoy oysters a few times a week, and rotate with other proteins (fish, chicken, tofu, eggs) for variety.","Try pairing with fiber-rich sides (vegetables, fruit) since oysters have no fiber in the data."]},"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\/oyster?agent=true"}}}
