Serving Size: Look for both the amount recommended to eat or drink
at one time, and the number of these servings per package. It’s always
important to monitor the amount you eat or drink.
Calories: This reveals how many calories are in a single serving/portion
in one sitting. Always be careful with calories and servings, because
many packages have multiple servings and should not be consumed
all at once.
Percent Daily Value: This refers to the average levels of nutrients for
a person eating 2,000 calories a day. A food item with 20 percent
sugar per serving is 20 percent of your recommended amount of sugar
in one day. Percentages under 5 percent or less is considered low, while
amounts above 20 percent are considered high.
Saturated/Trans Fat: Consuming fewer saturated and trans fats will
help prevent chronic illness such as heart disease, high blood pressure,
and high cholesterol.
Unsaturated Fat: This is the healthy fat that can be found in fish, nuts,
and oils.

the product. Limit the amount of cholesterol you consume on a daily
basis. It will help prevent heart disease and other coronary ailments.
