They also provide healthy fats along with some saturated fat, and they contain cholesterol. The sodium level is 68mg per 100g, which is generally manageable, but it can add up if you eat sardines often or if the product is salted. Since sardines have no fiber and no carbohydrates in this data, pairing them with vegetables and whole grains helps balance your plate for better digestion and steadier energy.","healthier_tips":["Build a balanced plate: add 1\u20132 cups non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, talong, okra) plus 1\/2\u20131 cup rice or root crops depending on your meal size.","For snacks, keep sardines as part of a meal or pair with fruit or vegetable-based sides rather than relying on sardines alone.","Watch the type: if it\u2019s canned, choose options that are lower in salt when available, and rinse if the label allows.","Use portion as your guide: aim for a palm-sized serving of sardines per meal, then add more vegetables for volume and fiber."]},"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-indian?agent=true"}}}
