Interpreting Nutritional Labels – Improve Your Understanding
Understanding nutritional labels can impact hunger, cravings and health.
Nutritional labels provide objective product specific information about the food that’s in the package, but don’t tell us all that we should know about the physiologic and behavioral impact that may be a consequence of eating that specific food. These labels do contain certain critical facts we need to be aware of before making an informed food selection, but in many ways omit the downstream implications of eating the recommended serving or, in many cases, the package. The first step to making a good food choice is to take the time to read the label. The second part is understanding the consequences of making a particular food choice.
