They provide healthy fats and a good amount of cholesterol-free protein, but they also come with sodium (about 1453 mg per 100g) and some saturated fat (about 0.7 g). For heart health and overall balance, the key is to enjoy them regularly but not in very large portions\u2014especially if you also eat other salty processed foods in the same day. The good part: since it has no carbs and no sugar, it can fit well into a balanced plate (rice + veggies + protein) without adding extra sweet or starchy calories.","healthier_tips":["Portion: Aim for about 1\/2 to 1 small serving per meal (adjust based on your rice and vegetable portions).","Balance the plate: Pair with 1\u20132 cups non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, kangkong, lettuce, tomatoes) and a reasonable serving of rice.","Watch sodium: If the sardines are very salty, rinse briefly (if the product allows) or choose lower-sodium options when available.","Spread it out: Use sardines a few times a week, not every day, especially if you\u2019re also having instant noodles, processed meats, or salty sauces.","For snacks: If you eat sardines as a snack, keep it smaller and add crunchy veggies or whole fruit on the side."]},"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\/sardine-bombon-smoked?agent=true"}}}
