It also has some fiber (about 2.5g per 100g) and small amounts of natural sugars. Health watch-outs: it\u2019s relatively high in total fat (25.6g) and saturated fat (4.17g), and it can be high in sodium (about 881mg per 100g) depending on the brand. It also contains cholesterol (44mg). With these, it\u2019s best to use it as a regular but not excessive part of your day\u2014especially if you\u2019re having it at snacks or with salty sides.","healthier_tips":["Use a smaller portion (for example, 1\u20132 tablespoons) and pair with high-fiber carbs like whole wheat bread or brown rice.","Balance it with vegetables: add lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, or carrots to increase fiber and reduce the \u201call spread\u201d feeling.","Choose lower-sodium options when available, and rinse tuna if the product allows (or check labels for sodium).","For your daily pattern (3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks), consider tuna spread as part of a meal or snack, not multiple times a day.","If you\u2019re also eating other fatty or salty foods that day, reduce the spread portion to keep the overall balance."]},"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\/tuna-spread-cnd?agent=true"}}}
