*Health Tip*
Nutrition
1) Start with serving size
Once you have a clear sense of what the listed serving size,
think about how much you might eat in one setting and change the rest of
the numbers to determine the actual calorie and nutrient amounts you will
ingest.
2) Calories
When you have calculated the actual number of calories you
might consume in a serving, think about how that fits in with the rest of
the calories you will take in that day as well as how many calories you
might burn through physical activity.
3) Foods to Limit
In general you want low numbers when it comes to fats
(especially saturated and trans fat), cholesterol, sugar, and sodium.
4) Foods to Love
Foods that are high in fiber and protein are smarter choices
because they will leave you feeling fuller while providing energy. The
minerals and vitamins help round out a healthy diet by protecting against
disease while helping to maintain metabolism.
5) Keep it in Perspective
The % DV (Daily Value) is the percent of each nutrient in a
single serving in terms of the daily recommended amount, based upon
consuming 2000 calories daily. Without this clue the rest of the numbers
might not help that much as it can be hard to remember the recommendations
on the average amounts a person should consume.
