Decipher the Language of Food Labels

Sugar and Gluten Free Foods | 1.09.2010 5:25 | No Comments

You are at the grocery store shopping for foods only on your diet. You review every food label for the best choice to promote your weight loss. Even though you check the labels, is it a healthy choice? You’re taking charge of your health and losing weight. Know what the food labels mean and what you’re getting (and not getting) in your food choices.

The first thing to remember in learning the language of labels is that you want to make your calories count. Your goal is to obtain the most nutrition for your nutrition calories. Essentially, you are spending your calories for the most nutrition possible.

Food labels were created to give consumers nutritional information to be of assistance in making decisions on which food choices are best for them. Sounds simple right? You can make the information work for you. There is a wealth of information on the labels for you once you know how to make sense of it all.

Let’s look at the food label for a certain product we are considering to purchase. Know your nutrition facts when it comes to food labels. At first glance, it looks fine. Only 250 calories for this one item, right? Not so fast! There are three items to consider before placing this particular item in your shopping cart.

1. Check the serving and calories.

2. What’s in it for you?

3. Does it fit your nutrition goal?

1. CHECK THE SERVING AND CALORIES. Only 250 calories for this item from your daily caloric intake? Look at the serving size on this item and how many servings it contains. In our example, there are 2 servings at 250 calories PER EACH serving. In this item, there are a total of 500 calories and not 250 as it may first appear.

2. WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU? Next, look at the rest of the nutritional facts such as how much total fat, total carbohydrates, sugars, fiber and protein are contained in this product. Back to our example, there are 12 grams of fat, 31 grams of carbohydrates, zero grams of fiber, 5 grams of sugars and 5 grams of protein PER SERVING which is 2 servings for the entire item. Since the item has 2 servings total, if you eat the entire package, you would double the calories, fat, carbs, sugars, fiber and protein for the day.

Also, check the saturated fat, sodium and other nutritional information such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Calcium and Iron that are contained in this item.

For our translation of this food label, our nutrition information is for the entire package:

Total Calories: 500 calories, Total Fat: 24 grams, Total Carbohydrates: 62 grams, Total Sugars: 10 grams, Total Protein: 10 grams, Total Saturated Fat: 6 grams, Total Trans Fat: 6 grams, Total Cholesterol: 60 mg., Total Sodium: 940 grams, Total Dietary Fiber: 0 grams.

Remember, it is more than just calories; it is the big picture of all nutrients that count too.

3. DOES IT FIT YOUR NUTRITION GOAL? Now that you have deciphered exactly what’s in this product, you get to decide if it fits your nutrition program. Compare the calories on the label and the nutrients you’ll be getting to decide if this food is worth eating? Can you eat only one serving or would you want to eat the entire package? Put all the information together and decide if this is a smart choice that promotes your nutritional program of health. Do you put it in your shopping cart and take home or do you leave it on the shelf?

Other tips to remember would be to determine the number of calories derived from fat, protein and carbohydrates as follows:

Each gram of fat: 9 calories

Each gram of carbohydrate: 4 calories

Each gram of protein: 4 calories

Multiply the number of grams contained in a product by these calories per gram and you’ll see how the total caloric breakdown shakes out.

A common pitfall, especially with small packages, is to assume there is only one serving because the package is small. As an example, if you were to eat a bag of pretzels from a vending machine, you might find it contains 2.5 servings. You would need to multiply the numbers by 2.5 to see what’s really in that small bag.

The FDA regulates the use of phrases and terms on product packaging. Here’s what they really mean:

Sugar free: Less than .5 grams of sugar per serving.

Calorie Free = Less than 5 calories per serving.

Low Calorie = 40 calories or less per serving.

Light or Lite = 1/3 fewer calories or 50% less fat than the referenced food.

Fat Free = Less than 1/2 gram of fat per serving.

Low Fat = 3 grams or less of fat per serving.

High Fiber = 5 grams or more of fiber per serving.

By translating the label language information, you know exactly what it all means and can make the smart choices for yourself on your journey to health. Knowledge is power and now, YOU have that power!

The Worst Breakfast Foods to Eat

Sugar and Gluten Free Foods | 30.08.2010 20:45 | No Comments

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so it’s crucial to fuel your body with the proper energy to get you motivated.  Many of us are guilty of eating on the run, which results in poor food choices that could find us snacking on junk food only a couple of hours later.  Staying educated about the best food choices for breakfast ensures that you’ll do the right thing as a habit, even when you’re on automatic pilot in the morning.

Stay away from sugary cereals.  While they may give you fond memories of years past, sugar is notorious for adding inches to your waistline.  Though you feel temporarily hyped up, sugar burns quickly and will cause you to crash only a couple hours after eating.  This leads to the vicious cycle of reaching for the junk food prior to lunch time, destined to repeat the same thing that happened with your morning meal. Achieving quick weight loss is impossible with too much sugar in your diet.  Sugar drains energy fast.  Just say no to any cereal your kids rave about.  Instead, try a whole grain cereal that’s high in dietary fiber.  This will leave you feeling full longer without the crash and burn you get from other cereals.

Since carbohydrates are sugar, cut these out for maximum effect.  Carbs do the same thing as the refined sugar you find in cheap cereals.  This means staying away from the donut shop and those cute pastries you buy with your coffee.  Even breads, which are not as high in sugar, can have the same effect.  If you crave something sweet in the morning, try mixing sliced fresh fruit in yogurt.  The sugar in fruit doesn’t break down as quickly as refined sugar does, meaning your body will not get the same surge as it does from a donut or pastry.  If you’re constantly on the go, try a protein shake.

Be careful what you put in your coffee.  Drinking coffee itself is not as dangerous as the things you add to it.  Stay away from using heavy creams, flavored syrups or heaps of sugar.  There are many tasty substitutes available today including fat-free milk, soy milk, raw sugar, sugar-free syrups and flavored powders.  If someone makes it for you, be sure to request these items.  Many of them taste a little different, but you will get used to them quickly.  The caffeine in coffee is a stimulant, so avoid drinking too much as you will experience a crash similar to that of sugar.

We all know how important it is to make sensible choices for our diet not only at breakfast, but throughout the entire day.  If appetite is a problem, there are many natural appetite suppressants such as hoodia available to help you through those times when cravings are at their highest.  Don’t forget to exercise, too.
