We see nutrition labels every day on nearly everything we eat. But what good are they if we don’t understand what we’re actually eating?
Here are some ways to decode the label and some of the ingredients we often see.
Let's start at the beginning.
1) Serving Size
This is found at the top of the label. People often overlook or don’t understand a food’s serving size. It’s important to pay attention to portion size to make sure you’re not eating too much (which could lead to weight gain) or too little (not getting the full nutritional value).
