It also provides carbohydrates for energy\u2014useful for your daily meals and active days. Compared with many refined carbs, the fiber can help make your meals more satisfying. It has some sugar naturally (6.3g), so portion size still matters, especially if you\u2019re having it alongside rice or noodles. Sodium is very low (4mg), which is good for everyday heart-friendly eating.","healthier_tips":["For meals, aim for a balanced plate: sweet potato + protein (fish, chicken, tofu, eggs) + non-starchy vegetables.","If you\u2019re also having rice, consider smaller portions of sweet potato (e.g., 1\/2 cup cooked) so you don\u2019t overload on starch for the meal.","Choose cooking methods like boiled, steamed, or baked. If it\u2019s made into fries or with lots of sugar, the calories can rise quickly.","Pair it with fiber-rich veggies (like kangkong, pechay, okra) to keep your snacks and meals more filling.","Use it as a snack option too: a small serving with yogurt or a hard-boiled egg can work well for your 1\u20132 daily snacks."]},"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?agent=true"}}}
