with a lower number
• Drink water instead of sugary drinks and eat sugary desserts less often
• Make foods that are high in solid fats occasional choices (pizza, hot dogs, cheese, sausages, cakes, cookies, ice cream)
• Limit empty calories to less than 260 calories per day
• Empty Calories = Foods from solid fats and/or added sugar – These ingredients add calories to the food with no nutritional value
Nutrition LabelsReading Labels Video
Food Label ComparisonOld Food LabelBegan in 1995
New Food Label Beginning 2016
Differences• Focus is more on the number of servings and bolded large calories per serving
• Included an area for added sugar (those empty calories)
• Now includes Vitamin D and Potassium instead of Vitamin A and C
• Vitamin D and Potassium are newly identified nutrients of public health significance
• They removed the calories from fat portion because research has proven that the type of fat is more important than the amount.
• Moved the percentage of daily values to the left so that you see this information first which is important for knowing how many nutrients you are getting from that particular food.
Serving Size Law Changes• The amount that is considered a
single serving has changed in the past 20 years since the original food labels came out.
• We now consume more in a single serving.
• They will now be more realistic for what people actually eat at one time
• Previously one bottle of soda, that would be consumed in a single sitting, could have been labeled as 2 servings.
