We have to be the creators of a healthy food intake. Two things
can make it challenging for us: 1) Food labels 2) Nutritional
information at restaurants Example: A can of soup. Most of us
know most canned items contain large amounts of sodium, but you
really take in far too much when you do not follow the right
potion size. Most people would eat a whole can of soup, but the
label says there are 2.5 servings in a can. This can be the
difference of 800 mg sodium and 2,300 mg sodium! Both amounts
are far too much to consume in one meal and 2,300 mg is more
than what you should have in one day. A new study has shown that
calorie counts on national chain restaurants and fast food
chains can be inaccurate. Some of the calorie counts were
correct, but many were off by 19 percent, having 100 calories
more than listed and one item had 1,000 calories more. ( my
guess is that you should not have even considered that item in
the first place). Calorie counts were most inaccurate in items
promoted to be low calorie. These
