What to watch: This dried version is high in sodium (about 5,916 mg per 100 g), which can be a concern if eaten often or in big portions. It also has saturated fat (0.46 g) and cholesterol (103 mg), so pairing it with plenty of vegetables and choosing smaller servings helps keep your overall intake balanced.","healthier_tips":["Portion first: Use small servings (think a few tablespoons to a palm-sized portion) especially if you eat it as a snack or with rice.","Balance your plate: Pair with vegetables (like ensaladang gulay, kangkong, or mixed veggies) and add a sensible amount of rice or root crops for energy.","Manage salt: If your dried tuna is very salty, try soaking briefly and draining well (then taste before cooking\/adding more salt).","Frequency: Don\u2019t make it a daily habit; rotate with other protein sources (fish, eggs, chicken, tofu) across your 3 meals and 1\u20132 snacks.","Pair smart: Combine with foods high in potassium and fiber (vegetables, fruits) to support overall heart health.","Everything is okay in the right amount\u2014so enjoy it while keeping sodium and saturated fat in check."]},"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-yellow-fin-dried?agent=true"}}}
