It has almost no fiber, so it may not keep you full for long. Too much added sugar across the day can make it easier to exceed your calorie needs, which may affect weight and blood sugar control over time. On the positive side, it can be used to add taste to meals and snacks\u2014just keep the amount small so it doesn\u2019t crowd out more filling, nutrient-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and meals with protein.","healthier_tips":["Use syrup as a small topping (e.g., drizzle), not as the main ingredient of your snack.","Pair it with protein or fiber to stay fuller\u2014try it with yogurt, milk, or fruit instead of eating it alone.","Watch portions: since it\u2019s mostly sugar, a little goes a long way.","For your daily pattern (3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks), keep syrup to occasional use and choose less-sweet options most days.","If you\u2019re having sweet drinks or desserts, consider reducing syrup in one part so your total added sugar stays reasonable."]},"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?agent=true"}}}
