Pairing it with veggies also helps your meals feel more filling and supports better overall eating quality.","healthier_tips":["Portion: Aim for a palm-sized serving of pork per meal, then fill the rest of your plate with vegetables and rice\/other carbs in appropriate portions.","Add fiber: Have it with at least 1\u20132 cups of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., ampalaya, kangkong, pechay, carrots) or a side salad.","Watch sodium: If it\u2019s salty (e.g., with sauce or seasoning), go lighter on the sauce and balance with unsalted sides.","Choose cooking style: Prefer less oily methods (grilled, roasted with less added fat) over very fatty, deep-fried versions.","Frequency: Rotate with other proteins like fish, chicken, eggs, tofu, or legumes so your intake stays balanced across the week."]},"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-suckling-kidney?agent=true"}}}
