However, per 100 g it\u2019s also high in added sugar (about 50 g), total fat (about 27.6 g) with saturated fat (about 6.0 g), and sodium (about 436 mg). Too much of these, especially sugar and saturated fat, can make it harder to manage weight and keep heart health in check when eaten often. The good part: if you enjoy it, it can fit into your day when portion is controlled and balanced with your 3 meals and 1\u20132 snacks.","healthier_tips":["Keep portions small\u2014think 1\u20132 small pieces rather than a handful.","Pair it with a more filling snack option: have it after a meal or with fruit or plain yogurt to help balance your snack.","Choose less frequent treats: if you have peanut brittle, make the other snack that day lighter (e.g., fruit, nuts in small amount, or unsweetened drinks).","Watch sodium and overall sugar: limit sweetened drinks on the same day to avoid stacking sugar.","Since it\u2019s sweet, treat it as a dessert\/snack, not an everyday staple."]},"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\/peanut-brittle-w-sesame-seed?agent=true"}}}
