Food packaging can be misleading.
“Light,” “natural,” “zero sugar” — it sounds healthy… until you flip the label. 👀
Here’s how to read food labels the smart way:
1️⃣ Check the serving size – All values are based on that. Many people eat more than 1 serving without knowing!
2️⃣ Look at total sugar & added sugar – Aim for low or zero added sugars.
3️⃣ Scan the ingredient list – Fewer, whole ingredients = better.
4️⃣ Watch out for sodium – Especially in “healthy” packaged meals.
5️⃣ Avoid long chemical names – If you can’t pronounce it, ask yourself if your body should digest it.
6️⃣ Ignore marketing on the front – The truth is always on the back.
💡 Rule of thumb: If it’s ultra-processed, eat less of it.
Real food doesn’t need a paragraph of ingredients.
