When you check the Nutrition Facts label on your favorite foods, what is the most important number to you? Calories? Fat grams? Sodium? If you're like many people, there is one number that your eyes zero in on, and many of the other numbers are just background noise. Well, if you need a refresher course on what all those stats mean, here's a quick rundown. Starting at the top of the label, make sure you check what the product's serving size is. It's a quick trick that could keep you from consuming a lot more calories and fat than planned.
Next, you'll spot the calories, and if you're like most people trying to maintain or lose weight, this number is the most important. Underneath that, you'll find the things to limit: fat, sodium, cholesterol, carbohydrates and protein. The Food and Drug Administration claims that a quick way to judge the percentages next to these nutrients is 5% or less is considered low and 20% or more is high. (Remember, however, these daily values are for a 2,000-calorie-per-day diet.)
Finally, you need to get enough of the nutrients listed in the bottom section. (Again, 5% and 20% are considered low and high values, respectively.) Happy reading!
