10 Tips on How to Read Food Labels …

6. Low fat …

Similar to above, but contains less then 3g of fat. For some foods, this is very easy. Watch out on items such as bacon, however, that can state low fat but have small print meaning you should cut off all fat before the item is classes as fat free.

7. Cholesterol free …

Contains less then 2mg of cholesterol, and 2g or less of saturated fat. These foods are relatively new, but in general, will be a healthy alternative. If you are worried about cholesterol, you could also buy drinking yoghurts that boast that they can lower your levels naturally.

8. Calorie free …

Less than 5 calories per serving. Again, watch out for what a serving size is, as this can be quite misleading.

9. Low calorie …

This contains less than 40 calories per serving. Be warned, though, as a lot of 40 calorie biscuits will soon add up!

10. Light or Lite version …

This will contain 50% less fat or 1/3 fewer calories. It’s worth checking what the fat or calorie content of the normal version is, as this may still be astronomical!

I hope now it’ll be much easier for you to track what your actually eat and wether you are getting the right amount of necessary calories and nutrients every day!
