Another key area to look at is when they discuss the
percentage of the daily recommended amount that a portion
covers as this can tell you a lot about what is in the product
and how it can affect your diet plan.
Yet again you need to look at the serving size along with this
because if the serving size is 30g and it gives you 25% of your
daily recommended allowance for salt and you take 60g, then
you need to double this 25% in order to get a true reflection.
Do also look to see if they mention how many calories per
day this recommended amount is based on as the majority
will be for 2000 calories, but you may be on less than that so
you must calculate it accordingly.
Finally it is worth looking at how to read the individual
ingredients as they will tend to use terms such as Sodium
instead of salt or they will talk about carbohydrates instead
of just listing how much sugar is in it.
By law they must have this information printed on there, so
as long as you have an understanding of the amounts of
different things you should eat for your diet plan, then you
should find it that bit easier to go ahead and lose that weight.
