It also provides sugar (10.4 g) and sodium (426 mg), so portion matters\u2014especially if you\u2019re watching added sugar or salt. It has saturated fat (8.0 g), which is okay in small amounts, but too much can crowd out healthier choices. Since it\u2019s calorie-dense (616 kcal per 100 g), it\u2019s best used as a small add-on (like a spoonful) rather than eaten in large servings.","healthier_tips":["Use a small serving: Aim for about 1\u20132 tablespoons per snack or meal add-on, then balance the rest of your plate with rice\/whole grains, vegetables, and lean protein.","Pair it wisely: Spread on whole wheat bread, oatmeal, or add to smoothies with fruit and plain yogurt for better fiber and protein balance.","Watch salt and added sugar: Choose peanut butter with minimal added sugar and lower sodium when available.","Balance your day: If you have peanut butter in one snack, keep the next snack lighter (e.g., fruit or yogurt) so your total calories stay on track."]},"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-butter?agent=true"}}}
