It also has a small amount of fiber, which can help with fullness, but the sugar is still the main nutrient you\u2019ll get from it. It\u2019s low in fat and cholesterol, and it has some sodium, so it\u2019s best not to overdo it\u2014especially if you already get sweetness from other foods. When used in small amounts, it can fit into a balanced eating pattern with 3 full meals and 1\u20132 snacks per day.","healthier_tips":["Use a smaller amount: try 1\u20132 teaspoons first, then adjust based on taste.","Balance your plate: pair sweet syrup with foods that have protein or fiber (e.g., yogurt, nuts, oats, or fruit) so you feel satisfied longer.","Watch your total sweetness across the day\u2014if you use syrup in one snack, choose less sweet options for the next.","Prefer whole foods more often: for everyday snacks, choose fruit or plain yogurt instead of adding extra syrup.","If you\u2019re making drinks (coffee\/tea), start with less syrup and add more only if needed."]},"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\/syrup-coconut-sap?agent=true"}}}
