Did you have a good Sunday? It was a quiet day around here yesterday. Just relaxed and enjoyed watching some of the Buick Open.
I may not be posting for the next couple of days as I’m going to go in for cataract surgery tomorrow. I had my left eye done a couple of years ago and the time has come to do the other eye. So, I’ll be a “one-eyed monster” for a couple of days. If I can see to type and read with the one eye, I’ll at least get a short article here for you. Otherwise it may be later in the week before I get back to it.
On Saturday we were talking in general terms about what’s on food labels. Today, we’ll take a look at them in more detail and see if we can show you what to look for when you read. Remember, it’s your wellness, health and fitness we’re talking about — and reading food labels is a big part of the process.
Here’s what to look for on food labels:
First, and vitally important is the Serving Size:
This is vital to read because everything that follows it is based on it. The Serving Size is usually located near the top of the label. When you read the serving size, be sure you also see how many servings are included.
For example, if you’re looking at the label on one of those one cup containers of yogurt but the serving size is one-half cup, you’ll have to double all the other numbers on the label if you decide to eat the whole cup. If the number of calories for one serving (1/2 cup) is 100 calories, and you eat the whole cup of yogurt, you’ve eaten 200 calories.
Many people will just look at the calorie figure and think that’s for the entire contents, so be sure to check the serving size first.
