It also has a bit of saturated fat (from the overall recipe), though the amount is not huge per 100 g. The sodium is low, so it\u2019s not a major salt source. Since it has low fiber, it may not keep you full for long, so pairing it with a more filling meal or choosing smaller portions helps. Everything is okay in moderation, especially when you fit it into your daily pattern of 3 full meals plus 1\u20132 snacks.","healthier_tips":["Keep portions small\u2014think 1 small bowl (not a big serving) especially if you also eat other sweet snacks.","If available, choose light syrup or ask for less syrup.","Pair with something that adds fullness: have it after a meal, or pair with fresh fruit or plain yogurt (if you like) to balance sweetness.","Make it an occasional treat\u2014rotate with snacks that have fiber like fruit, nuts (small amounts), or whole-grain options.","Watch frequency: if you eat sago dessert, try not to stack it with other sugary drinks or desserts in the same day."]},"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\/sago-in-light-syrup?agent=true"}}}
