It also has cholesterol (159mg) and saturated fat (1.41g), so it\u2019s best to keep portions reasonable and not make it your everyday default. The good part: it\u2019s low in carbs and has very little sugar, which makes it easier to fit into balanced meals. Sodium is relatively low at 99mg per 100g, but cooking methods (like salty sauces) can change the total.","healthier_tips":["Portion: Aim for about 1 palm-sized serving per meal, then balance the plate with 1\u20132 cups non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, kangkong, ampalaya) and 1\/2\u20131 cup rice depending on your activity.","Cook smarter: Try stew, ginisa with less oil, or grilled instead of deep-frying. Go easy on salty sauces.","Frequency: Include organ meat a few times a month rather than daily, and rotate with fish, chicken, eggs, tofu, and legumes.","Add fiber: Since it has 0g fiber, pair it with vegetables and fruit to support digestion."]},"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-heart?agent=true"}}}
