It also provides some fiber from the vegetables (about 0.7g per 100g), which helps with better digestion. However, it\u2019s also relatively higher in sodium (about 262mg per 100g) and fat (about 10.4g per 100g), so portion size matters\u2014especially if you eat it regularly. The carbs are lower in this data (about 4.6g per 100g), but the overall dish can still become heavier if it\u2019s paired with rice or if the recipe uses more starchy ingredients.","healthier_tips":["For a balanced day (3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks), try these:","Keep your serving to about 1\/2 to 1 cup (or around 100\u2013150g) and pair with extra non-starchy vegetables like lettuce, cucumber, or kangkong.","Choose less-salty versions: use reduced-sodium seasoning or go easy on added salt\/seasoning packets.","If you\u2019ll have rice, keep it to 1 small scoop and make the rest of the plate veggies + protein.","Watch the frequency: enjoy pastel as a regular meal but not every day\u2014rotate with other protein viands."]},"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-pastel-cnd?agent=true"}}}
