The fat content (8.9 g, with 1.37 g saturated fat) adds to the calorie load, so frequent large servings may make it harder to balance your daily energy. On the plus side, they do provide some dietary fiber (2.2 g), which can help with fullness. Since they\u2019re spiced and salty, they\u2019re also easy to overeat\u2014so pairing with water and choosing smaller servings helps keep your snack routine more balanced.","healthier_tips":["Portion first: Try a small serving (for example, a handful) instead of eating straight from the pack.","Balance your meals: Keep puffs as a snack, not a replacement for your full meals. Aim for 3 full meals plus 1\u20132 snacks a day.","Pair smart: Have it with water or unsweetened drinks, and pair with fruit or yogurt if you can.","Watch salt: If you eat puffs, consider choosing less salty snacks the rest of the day.","Choose more often: When possible, rotate with snacks that have more fiber and less sodium (like nuts in small portions, boiled peanuts, or veggie-based snacks).","Everything is okay in moderation\u2014the goal is to enjoy snacks without letting them take over your daily balance."]},"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\/puffs-spiced?agent=true"}}}
