BF Basics: De-Mystifying the Nutrition Label

Yes, yes I know you got good grades all year but a little summer school never hurt anyone.

Does the nutrition label look like gibberish to you? Do you think it’s impossible to learn to get good information from it? Or perhaps you have a good basic knowledge but just feel like you don’t “get” everything on the label.

I’m here to help.

This week, we’ll go through the in’s and out’s, up’s and down’s, warning signals and pitfalls of the Nutrition Facts label.

So check back all this week to learn about the in’s and out’s of the nutrition label – a powerful tool for making good food decisions. Here’s what we’ll cover:

Part I: May I Serve You? Serving Sizes/Servings Per Container
Part II: Kill a Calorie
Part III: Facts about Fat
Part IV: Sodi-ummmmmmm…
Part V: CARBS!
Part VI: Protein – Queen of All Nutrients
Part VII: Nutrients! What the heck does all that mean????

And of course just like all my other BF Basics Series, this one is available as a free download to take with you and share! (Google log-in required)

So come…let’s get educated!
