However, it also tends to be high in sugar (22.4g) and high in saturated fat (0.79g) because of coconut and added sweeteners. Sodium is relatively low (94mg), but the bigger things to watch are sugar and saturated fat, especially if you eat it often. If you include biko in your day, it\u2019s best to treat it as a snack or occasional dessert so your 3 meals plus 1\u20132 snacks stay balanced.","healthier_tips":["Keep portion small: try 1\u20132 small slices (or about 50g) instead of a full 100g serving.","Pair with something that adds protein: have it with milk, yogurt, or a glass of soy milk to help balance your snack.","Balance your day: if you eat biko as a snack, choose less sweet options for the other snack.","Watch frequency: enjoy biko occasionally, not every day.","If you\u2019re making it at home, consider using less sugar or adding more toppings like nuts in small amounts for texture (not extra sugar)."]},"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\/rice-cake-glutinous-biko?agent=true"}}}
