Be sure to read labels for portion, calorie control
January 11, 2018 by Julie Davis, Healthday Reporter
 

(HealthDay)—"Nutrition Facts" labels mandated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have made it easier to know more about what's inside packaged foods. But the information isn't always easy to decipher, especially since the "daily value" percentages are based on a maintenance diet, not a weight-loss one.

Start by looking at the number of servings in the package and the calories in each of those servings. Realize that if the calorie count is low because the serving size is very small, one portion may not satisfy you.
