Calories
Check here to be sure
the calories are within
the appropriate limits:
≤
200
calories
per
food
Item.
Calories from Fat
No more than
35
%
of
calories should be from fat.
So how do we figure this
out? The equation goes like
this: calories from fat/total
calories
= 0.17
÷ 150
25
To form a percent, we
multiply this number by 100
0.17
× 100
This means that 17% of the
calories are from fat.
Saturated Fat
Less than
%
10
of total calories
should come from saturated fat, but
the label lists saturated fat in grams.
A simple trick for converting grams
to calories is to remember that 1
gram of fat contains 9 calories.
Grams
saturated fat × calories per
gram = calories from saturated fat.
0.5
× 9 = 4.5 calories
But now we need to know if that is
:
10
% or less of the total calories
(
Calories from saturated fat÷ total
(calories) × 100 = % calories from
saturated fat.
×
1
(4.5/150)
= 3% calories from
00
saturated fat.
Sodium
The sodium should be
≤
200
mg.
Sugars
Item should be no more than
%
35
sugar by weight.
(
Grams of sugar ÷ grams per
serving) × 100 = % sugar by
weight.
(1
÷40) × 100 = 2.5% sugar by
weight.
Trans Fat
All food items should have no
more than
0.5
grams
of trans fat
per serving.
What about Whole Grains?
Check that meals and snacks are whole grain by scanning the ingredient list. The first
item should be some type of
whole grain
, such as whole wheat
flour,buckwheat
, barley.
