READING NUTRITION LABELS

Target: I will be able to read a food label and calculate percentages of carbs, proteins, and fats from a label.

Servings per container: how much of a product is in one container Calories: Measurement of energy provided in one serving of food

Calories per serving and calories per servings of total fat, saturated fats, total carbohydrates, fiber, sugars, proteins, and mg of cholesterol and sodium per serving To calculate the total calories from (Carbs, Proteins, or Fats) Grams Listed x Cal/Gram Remember there are 4 calories per each gram of carbs and proteins, and 9 calories per each gram of fat Ex: 2.5 g of fat x 9 calories/gram = 22.5 calories (of the total calories (130) come from fat)

% Daily Value: The percentage of the daily recommended amount of the nutrient that is provided by 1 serving. Recommended Total Fat Intake = Less than 65 g/day Recommended Sodium (Salt) Intake = Less than 2,400 mg/day Recommended Cholesterol Intake = Less than 300 mg/day Recommended Total Carb Intake = 300 g/day
