Reading Food LabelsReading labels can help you make wise food choices. Most packaged foods in the grocery store list nutrition information on the package in a section called the Nutrition Facts.
The Nutrition Facts
The serving on the food label may not be the same as the serving size in your food plan or the serving you normally eat. If you eat twice the serving listed on the label, you would need to double all the numbers in the Nutrition Facts section. For example, if you usually eat 2 cups of chili with beans, you'll need to double all of the numbers in this Nutrition Facts section.
