For those who did not read last week’s
blog, we will learn a simple and quick way to read nutrition labels so we can
choose the best food for our family.
This week we'll talk about Energy:
As you may have noticed, the amount
of energy is listed at the beginning of the nutrition facts label and most of
them specify the amount of calories per serving (which in most cases is less
than half the package).
An average adult needs to eat
1500-2000kcal per day, so that each meal it is advisable to have 500-700Kcal
(considering breakfast, lunch and dinner).
According to the above, you need to
choose meals with less than 500Kcal per serving, if you're buying a dessert,
avoid options that have more than 200Kcal per serving.
Try applying this on the foodstuff
you usually buy and tell me how it went.
See you next week with
"Carbohydrates"
