It\u2019s also low in carbs, which can fit well into a balanced meal. However, it has some saturated fat (about 0.64g per 100g) and high cholesterol (~212mg), plus sodium (~116mg), so it\u2019s best to enjoy it in reasonable portions, especially if you\u2019re watching cholesterol or blood pressure. Since it has no fiber, pairing it with vegetables and whole grains helps round out the meal.","healthier_tips":["Keep portions small: treat it as a side protein (about 1\/4 to 1\/3 cup cooked), not the whole plate.","Pair with lots of gulay (e.g., pechay, kangkong, repolyo, sitaw) and add fiber from brown rice or mixed grains if available.","Balance your plate: aim for 1\/2 vegetables, 1\/4 rice, 1\/4 ulam (including pork lung).","Be mindful of salty cooking: if it\u2019s stewed\/saut\u00e9ed with soy sauce or bagoong, go easy on extra seasoning.","For daily eating pattern: have it as part of your main meals (3 times\/day) and not as a frequent snack."]},"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-lung?agent=true"}}}
