Nutrition Labels & The Serving Size Amount ©

One of the most important pieces of the Nutrition Fact Label is the recommended serving size amount.

Most of us tend to grab a bag or container, pop it open and then enjoy.  We're hungry, by gosh!  This isn't a reading class!  And then a day or two later, that bag of potato chips, that box of sugary cereal and even that 'healthily mix of fruit and nuts is suddenly pasted onto our backsides, evidenced by the rocketing numbers on our weight scales.


Even the healthiest of foods can suddenly become unhealthy when consumed in vast amounts.

If necessary, use a set of measuring cups and spoons until you master 'eyeing the correct serving sizes'.  Enjoying the correct serving size equates to a smaller clothing size and/or a healthier you.

When grabbing a snack, choose the ones closest to nature for the healthiest 'picks'.  

Also keep in mind that most Nutrition Fact Labels are based on a 2,000 calorie diet.  If you're a small person OR if you're a larger than average sized person, take that into account and adjust your serving size.

Another important dietary point regarding Nutrition Fact Labels is that because most involve processed foods, the contents may satisfy a small portion of our nutrients.  While we're filling up on calories and many times, fats - our nutrient requirements remain empty.

Although strawberry jam is delicious and supplies nutrients, it can't come close to fresh strawberries for calorie and vitamin content.
