They also provide carbohydrates for energy, and they contain small amounts of fat (including saturated fat) and very little sodium (around 4 mg per 100g), which makes them a good everyday choice for building balanced meals. Since they\u2019re mostly water and fiber-rich greens, they can help you feel full and support regular eating patterns (3 meals plus 1\u20132 snacks).","healthier_tips":["Pair with a balanced plate: add a serving of rice or root crop (if you eat it), plus a protein (fish, chicken, tofu, eggs) and squash leaves as your vegetable side.","Keep the cooking simple: boil or saut\u00e9 with minimal oil; if you use bagoong, patis, or salty seasonings, use a lighter hand to keep sodium in check.","Portion idea: aim for at least 1\u20132 servings of vegetables per day, and include squash leaves in one of your meals.","If you\u2019re watching carbs, you can still enjoy them\u2014just keep rice portions steady and let the greens do the \u201cfilling\u201d work."]},"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\/squash-lvs-boiled?agent=true"}}}
