The bigger health focus here is its total fat and especially saturated fat (higher than lean cuts). It also has sodium (even when broiled, seasoning and the cut can contribute). If you eat it often or in large portions, it can make it easier to exceed daily limits for saturated fat and sodium. The good part: when you include it in a balanced plate and keep portions right, it can still fit into everyday meals.","healthier_tips":["Keep portions smaller: aim for about 1 palm-sized serving per meal, then fill the rest of your plate with rice (or other carbs), lots of vegetables, and a leaner protein if needed.","Balance the meal: add non-starchy veggies (e.g., pechay, kangkong, lettuce, tomatoes) to support fiber intake.","Watch seasoning: if it\u2019s salty, pair with less salty sides (avoid extra bagoong, salted fish, or very salty sauces).","Frequency: enjoy pork belly occasionally, not every day\u2014especially if you also eat other fatty meats or processed foods.","For snacks, choose lighter options (like fruit or unsweetened yogurt) so your day stays balanced."]},"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-belly-broiled?agent=true"}}}
