It also brings natural sweetness (sugar about 3.7 g) and small amounts of fat with very low saturated fat. Sodium is also low (about 11 mg), which is helpful when you\u2019re building meals that aren\u2019t too salty. If you\u2019re watching carbs or sugar, tomato is still a good choice since the carbs are moderate and comes with fiber.","healthier_tips":["Add tomato to your 3 full meals (e.g., as part of sinigang, ginisang gulay, or as a side salad).","For snacks, you can pair tomato with protein like boiled egg or tuna (instead of just crackers).","Go for fresh or lightly cooked tomato when possible; if using canned tomato sauce, check the label for added sugar and sodium.","Balance your plate: aim for 1\/2 vegetables (including tomato), 1\/4 protein, and 1\/4 rice or starchy 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\/tomato?agent=true"}}}
