Read It Before You Eat It!
Read it before you eat it!
Start here. Nutrition facts, servings size and servings per container. Notice
the serving size: all nutrition facts are for one serving.
Try not to eat too much of these: total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and
sodium. Some nutrients can cause problems if you eat a lot. Choose foods with 5%
or less of these each day.
Make sure to get enough of these: Vitamin A, Vitamin C, calcium, and iron.
Eating enough of these nutrients can help you stay healthy. Choose foods with
20% or more of these each day.
Use the 5% - 20% guide to daily values to choose foods.
Ask you doctor how much is right for you based on the percent daily value
information on the label.
What's the best choice for you?
