Presentation transcript:

If the information is for 1 Slice and you eat 3 Slices, obviously you need to triple all of the values In this case here, eating 3 slices will provide how many calories? Rather than the 160 Calories that the Food Fact Label is stating Even large chocolate bars may state their caloric values per so many squares rather than per the whole bar.

These Daily Percentage Values are not the percentage of that component in the food, but rather the percentage of your daily requirement or allowance for that component. For good healthy components the percent is for what is recommended you get. For Unhealthy components the percent is for what you are allowed for a ceiling amount. It is very important that you recognize that the percentage values are based off of a specific average person’s requirement. However a 55 year old sedentary women will have very different allowances and recommendations per serving than a 20 year old muscular male athlete.

Macronutrient Categories must be listed: PROTEINS, FATS and CARBS Also bad fats and bad carbs are also further listed. Example – Saturated Fats, Trans Fats and Cholesterol as well As Sugar will be listed if present. There is often an account of Specific Minerals like Iron and Calcium along with a break down of key vitamin Calories per serving and Calories from Fat per serving

Although Food Fact Labels have a very important Nutrition Facts Table, they also have a list of ingredients. Almost everybody knows that the ingredients are listed from most abundant to least abundant.
