It also contains sodium (about 965mg) and sugar (about 14.6g), which can add up if eaten often or in bigger portions. On the positive side, it can make meals more satisfying and help you reach your daily intake when paired with balanced foods (like bread plus vegetables and protein). For heart health and overall balance, it\u2019s best to use it as a small part of your sandwich, not the main component.","healthier_tips":["Use a thin layer (start with 1\u20132 tablespoons) and load the rest of the sandwich with lean protein (egg, tuna, chicken, tofu) and fiber-rich veggies (lettuce, tomato, cucumber).","Choose bread that\u2019s higher in fiber (whole wheat or mixed grains) to help balance the carbs and keep you full longer.","Since it\u2019s high in sodium and sugar, keep it for occasional use and avoid pairing it with other salty\/sweet snacks in the same day.","For your daily pattern (3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks), treat this as part of your meal build\u2014then add a fruit or yogurt snack if you need something lighter."]},"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\/sandwich-spread?agent=true"}}}
