Nutrition Label FAQs
Why does serving size matter?
Check the serving size first. All listed nutrition amounts apply to that portion, so eating twice as much means twice the calories and nutrients.
What do calories tell me?
Calories show the energy in one serving. Compare similar foods and consider how the portion fits your everyday needs.
Why check protein and fiber?
Protein supports muscles, while fiber helps digestion and fullness. Compare amounts in similar products to find options that suit you.
What are added sugars and saturated fat?
Added sugars are put in during processing; saturated fat is best limited. Check both amounts per serving when comparing foods.
How should I read sodium?
Sodium is salt’s main component. Compare milligrams per serving across similar products, especially if you’re keeping an eye on your intake.
