How to Easily Read Nutrition Labels
Summary
Understanding food labels can be confusing with so many nutrients and ingredients to consider. This guide will show you how to read nutrition labels effectively.Key Points
Thanks to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), nutrition labels are standardized on all packaged foods. This allows you to easily compare nutritional values between products.
Key Areas on a Nutrition Label
1. Serving Size:
- Displays the standard portion (e.g., cups, tablespoons, pieces) and its metric equivalent (grams).
2. Servings Per Container:
- Packaged foods often contain multiple servings. Be mindful of this, as consuming more servings increases your calorie intake.
3. Calories Per Serving:
- 40 calories per serving is low, 100 is moderate, and 400 is high. Monitoring your serving intake helps manage weight. Balance higher-calorie foods with lower-calorie options throughout the day.
Using Nutrition Labels for Weight Management
To make the most of your calorie intake, focus on the nutrient content:
- Percentage Daily Value (%DV):
- Indicates nutrient richness. Values are based on a 2,000-calorie diet.
- 5% or less is low; 20% or more is high.
- Nutrients to Limit:
- Total Fat, Cholesterol, Sodium, and Trans-Fats (no daily requirement, but keep them minimal).
- Nutrients to Include:
- Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Calcium, and Iron.
Making Wise Food Choices
Use the information gathered from labels to decide if a food item is a good choice, considering both calories and nutrients. Consider if it fits as part of a meal or a standalone snack. If not, look for a healthier alternative. Often, there’s always a better option available.
