Hello ladies!
Today, we’re going to share nutrition tips from the Fit Food Guide. Who hasn’t ever spent ages hesitating in a supermarket aisle between 2 products, trying in vain to compare their labels without knowing which one would be the healthier choice?
To help you make the right choices on your next grocery trip, we’re explaining everything you need to know about nutrition labels.
Follow the guide!
How to read and decode food product labels?
The ingredients list
This list shows the composition of your product. The shorter it is, the better!
A short list means the product will contain few additives.
You should know that in the list, all ingredients are ordered from the most abundant to the least abundant. For example, if sugar appears as the first ingredient (or in second place), your product is made up mainly of sugar… Ouch.
This list allows you to form a first opinion about the product at a glance.
Nutritional values
This label gives you the nutritional information per 100 g (or 100 ml) of product and per serving, and generally appears in this format:
The basics to remember about nutrition labelling:
- Energy value (in kcal and kJ) represents the energy provided by the product, also called calories.
- Fat (in g) represents fats and saturated fatty acids.
- Carbohydrates (in g) include all sugars, starch and fibre.
- Proteins (in g), whether animal- or plant-based, are a source of energy and strength for our bodies; they are essential building blocks of muscles and bones.
- Salt (in g) simply indicates the quantity contained in the product.
- Sometimes, you may also read information about mineral content (iron, calcium, magnesium, etc.), vitamins (A, B, C, etc.), and more.
A few tips
Everything we eat plays a role in keeping our bodies functioning properly, and all nutrients are necessary for a balanced diet. However, consuming more than our energy needs may encourage weight gain.
-16%Capsules made with chromium, which contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism
- Chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism, meaning the sugars, fats and proteins in your meals
- It also contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels
- Dandelion, burdock and artichoke complete the formula
So you need to learn to eat in reasonable amounts, nourish yourself with portions suited to your level of physical activity and, above all, listen to your body: eat when you’re hungry (not just because something looks tempting) and stop eating when your brain tells you “stop”.
