The good part: it still provides protein, and it can help you feel satisfied. Since it has 0 g carbs and no fiber, pairing it with fiber-rich sides (like vegetables or fruits) helps balance your meal and supports better digestion.","healthier_tips":["Keep portions small\u2014treat it as a snack or side, not a main plate. For example, have a small serving during one of your meals or as one snack.","Balance your plate: pair with vegetables (like kangkong, pechay, or mixed salad) and\/or a fiber-rich carb (like brown rice or kamote) if you\u2019re eating it as part of a meal.","Watch sodium: if you eat pork skin, choose less salty options for the rest of the day (lighter sauces, less bagoong\/soy-based dips).","Choose frequency wisely: enjoy it occasionally, not daily, so your overall saturated fat and sodium stay reasonable.","If you\u2019re craving crunch, you can also mix it with more vegetables or alternate with lower-fat snacks (like boiled eggs, yogurt, or fruit) for your 1\u20132 snacks a day."]},"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-skin-seasoned-roasted?agent=true"}}}
