It also has dietary fiber (4.4 g), which supports better digestion and helps you feel fuller. The sugar content (18.5 g) is naturally present in the food, so it\u2019s still important to watch portions\u2014especially if you also have rice, noodles, or other starchy snacks in the same meal. It\u2019s also very low in fat (0.2 g) and has very low sodium (16 mg), which is good for everyday heart-friendly eating when paired with balanced dishes.","healthier_tips":["Keep the plate balanced: aim for 1\/4 plate tabo with more non-starchy veggies and a protein (fish, chicken, tofu, or eggs).","If your meal already has rice or noodles, reduce the tabo portion to avoid too much starch in one sitting.","Choose cooking methods like boiling, steaming, or lightly saut\u00e9ing instead of heavy frying.","For snacks, pair tabo with protein (like boiled egg or tofu) or add veggies to improve fullness.","Since tabo has some natural sugar, enjoy it regularly but not in very large servings\u2014especially on days with sweet drinks or desserts."]},"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\/tabo?agent=true"}}}
