However, per 100g they also have high sodium (519 mg) and some sugar (9.7 g), plus low fiber (0.4 g). This means they\u2019re easier to overeat and may not keep you full as long compared with higher-fiber snacks. The good part: they\u2019re low in fat (0.6 g) and have no cholesterol, but the sodium and sugar are the main things to watch, especially if you snack often.","healthier_tips":["Use it as a snack, not a main meal\u2014aim for about 1 small bowl\/handful (check your package serving size).","Pair it with a protein or fiber to stay full longer: add milk or yogurt, or pair with fruit like banana\/berries, or have it with hard-boiled eggs.","Choose less sweet or less salty versions when available.","For your daily pattern (3 full meals + 1\u20132 snacks), keep rice crispies to one snack and balance the other snack with something higher in fiber (e.g., nuts in small portions, fruit, or veggies).","Drink water with it, especially if it\u2019s salty."]},"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-crispies?agent=true"}}}
