I read labels on food regularly.
I downloaded the my plate app to my phone to see what it had to offer. It seems like a great resource, and gives you simple goals to pursue each day.
I don’t read labels nearly enough.
It’s always educational to read what’s really in the groceries you’re buying.
The Calorie King. Calorie Fat & Carbohydrate Counter. Has over 200 Fast Food Chains. Just helpful
to made healthier choices. It also has Diabetes Diet guide.
I read labels quite often. You must be careful what a serving size is. You may think a certain container is a serving, but if you read closely, it may be actually 2 or 3 servings, which multiplies the carbohydrates, calories, fat etc. You are consuming if eating/drinking the whole container.
Love learning about all these great resources. Will have to check this out!
Learning a lot
Initially reading food labels takes a little more time in the grocery store, but the more you do, the faster you will get at reading food labels. Reading food labels is time well spent for better health!
Food Labels can be very confusing. an interactive lable seems like a great idea
I use food labels for serving size all the time. Even boxed cereal have different quantities for a serving. I also look to see what the first ingredients are. Doesn’t always match what they advertise.
I’ve read food labels for years and have taught my kids to do the same. You can find out surprising things you would never have thought was in something!
I really need to read labels more often.
I need to read labels more carefully.
I read labels to look for lower carb options, thanks.
My husband and I make informed food choices the Nutrition Facts label found on packaged foods and beverages. Because of the information, we have eliminated several products and added others to our diet.
So informative! Labels are super important to check and I forget sometimes.
good info
