It also has carbohydrates for energy, plus some natural sweetness from sugar (about 9.2g). The good news: it\u2019s low in fat (about 0.3g) and low in sodium (about 43mg), so it can fit well in a balanced Filipino day. Since it\u2019s starchy, portion size matters\u2014especially if you\u2019re having rice or other starchy foods in the same meal.","healthier_tips":["For meals: pair it with lean ulam (fish, chicken, tofu) and non-starchy veggies (e.g., kangkong, pechay, okra) to balance carbs and fiber.","For snacks: try smaller portions (about 1\/2 cup cooked) and add protein (boiled egg, yogurt, or nuts in small amounts) to stay satisfied.","Choose boiled or steamed versions most of the time; limit adding lots of sugar, condensed milk, or creamy toppings.","Spread it across your day: aim for 3 full meals plus 1\u20132 snacks, using sweet potato as part of a snack or side rather than the only food."]},"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\/sweet-potato-yellow-boiled?agent=true"}}}
