Being able to decode nutrition labels is important so that you\u2019ll be able to maximize healthy nutrients while minimizing certain undesirable nutrients.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the nutrients we want to minimize; these include cholesterol, total fat and sodium. \u00a0Generally, you\u2019ll want to keep your cholesterol intake lower than 300mg each day. \u00a0You\u2019ll also want to remember that not all fats are bad for you, so you need to look at how much of the total fat is saturated fat versus how much is trans fat. \u00a0Lastly, you typically want to have less than 2000mg of sodium per day. \u00a0Be sure to keep this in mind when grabbing canned soups or frozen meals.<\/p>\n

Understanding the nutrition label will also help you to be able to maximize good nutrients, such as dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals. \u00a0You should always be looking to get as much of these out of your meals as possible. \u00a0To help you estimate this, you can look to the daily value or DV% on the label. \u00a0\u00a0This will tell you how much each serving of this food will contribute to your daily goal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
