It has high saturated fat (17.8 g per 100 g) and high sugar (39.3 g per 100 g), which can be harder for heart health when eaten often in bigger portions. It also has some fiber (7.1 g per 100 g), which can help with fullness, but the overall sugar and saturated fat are the main things to watch. Sodium is also present (173 mg per 100 g), so pairing it with other salty foods can add up.","healthier_tips":["Keep it as a snack or dessert, not as a main meal replacement\u2014aim for a small portion (for example, a few pieces) especially if you already had rice or bread at meals.","Balance your day: if you eat polvoron in the afternoon or after dinner, choose lighter sides for the next meal (more vegetables, leaner viands, and smaller rice).","Pair with water or unsweetened drinks instead of soda or extra sweet beverages.","If you\u2019re buying polvoron, consider sharing with family or choosing smaller packs to help you naturally stay within your portion.","Since it\u2019s sweet and rich, try not to have it daily\u2014enjoy it on occasions or a few times a week."]},"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\/polvoron-prep-w-mlp?agent=true"}}}
