HOW TO READ A NUTRITION LABEL

HOW TO READ A NUTRITIONAL LABEL

The ingredients written in order determine which one has the most volume to the least volume

Example in the Ingredients photo: Wholegrains containing wheat, barley, rye, and corn make up 86% of the crispbread while SOY is the least amount as it is listed last

You want to avoid anything that has sugar or oil anywhere near the start of any ingredient list as you can be sure they will be easy to consume due to their taste, and they will likely be high in calories in general

WHAT ELSE TO LOOK OUT FOR

Watch out for packaged food that is high in serving sizes as they can use this tactic to make you think what you are eating is low in calories and potentially healthy, but it is likely quite the opposite, especially if sugar or oil is one of the main ingredients - In this example in photo 2 though it is mainly wholegrain so you will likely not eat yourself crazy before getting sick of them
