It also has some fiber (about 1.5 g per 100 g) and sugar (about 19.2 g), so it\u2019s best to enjoy it as part of your meals or as a snack\u2014not as the main food every time. It has low fat overall, but it contains saturated fat (about 0.23 g) and sodium (about 225 mg), which can add up if you eat many pieces or pair it with salty viands. A helpful way to balance is to combine puto with protein and vegetables so your blood sugar response is steadier and you feel fuller longer.","healthier_tips":["Keep portions small: treat puto as a snack or a side (for example, 1\u20132 small pieces) and not as a full meal by itself.","Pair it with a protein-rich food: boiled egg, fish, chicken, tofu, or milk\/soy drink to help balance the carbs.","Add fiber and micronutrients: have it with fruit (like banana or mango in reasonable serving) and\/or a side of veggies (e.g., atchara, ensaladang gulay).","Watch sodium: if your puto is paired with salty toppings or drinks, choose less salty options.","If you\u2019re having it for merienda, aim to keep it within your daily pattern of 3 full meals + 1\u20132 snacks so it doesn\u2019t crowd out healthier choices."]},"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-puto-white?agent=true"}}}
