Tip 42: Reading Nutritional Information Tables on foods
Weight loss tip posted by: Admin
When comparing foods you need to take into consideration sugar, salt (sodium), fat, and fibre. We need to eat more fibre and less sugar, fat, and salt. Nutritional tables always list the ingredients per 100g as well as per serve. Always compare the ‘per 100g’ figures. We have listed examples of high and low amounts.
The following are large amounts per 100 g:
- 30g of sugars
- 20g of fat
- 3g of fibre
- 600 mg of sodium
The following are small amounts per 100 g:
- 5g of sugars
- 3g of fat
- 0.5g of fibre
- 120mg sodium
