Too much saturated fat can make it harder to keep your overall diet balanced, especially if you eat fatty viands often. On the other hand, since it has no sugar and no carbs, it won\u2019t directly raise blood sugar\u2014but it can still affect your health when portions are large or when it replaces leaner protein and vegetables in your meals.","healthier_tips":["Use it for flavor, not as the main ingredient. A small amount goes a long way.","When cooking, try mixing with leaner meat (chicken breast, lean pork, fish) or add more vegetables to bulk up the dish.","For your daily pattern (3 full meals + 1\u20132 snacks), keep fatty viands to less frequent days and balance the rest of the week with grilled\/steamed options and plenty of non-starchy vegetables.","Watch sodium too\u2014this has some sodium (about 47 mg per 100 g). If the dish is also salty (soy sauce, bagoong, patis), go lighter on added seasonings.","If you\u2019re eating it, keep the portion small and pair it with rice in proper serving size, plus vegetables and a source of protein."]},"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\/pork-back-fat?agent=true"}}}
