Nutrition Label FAQs<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Why does serving size matter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check the serving size first. All listed nutrition amounts apply to that portion, so eating twice as much means twice the calories and nutrients.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What do calories tell me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calories show the energy in one serving. Compare similar foods and consider how the portion fits your everyday needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Why check protein and fiber?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protein supports muscles, while fiber helps digestion and fullness. Compare amounts in similar products to find options that suit you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What are added sugars and saturated fat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Added sugars are put in during processing; saturated fat is best limited. Check both amounts per serving when comparing foods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

How should I read sodium?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sodium is salt\u2019s main component. Compare milligrams per serving across similar products, especially if you\u2019re keeping an eye on your intake.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
