Reading Food Labels and Must-Have Kitchen Essentials

F

ood labels are like nutrition road maps. Once you learn how to read them, you’ll make better choices, whether you’re aiming for healthier eating, managing dietary restrictions, or simply trying to understand what exactly is in that box of cereal.

1. Serving Size:

Let’s start with the most important—and often overlooked—part of the food label: the serving size. You may glance at a label and see "200 calories" and think, "Great! I can eat this whole bag of chips guilt-free!" But hang on. Look closer. That 200-calorie figure is often for a serving size that’s smaller than you might expect.

For example, if the serving size is listed as 10 chips, and you eat the whole bag (which is more like 30 chips), you’ll need to multiply those 200 calories by three. Yes, that's 600 calories—not quite the guilt-free snack you thought.

Tip: Always start by checking the serving size and think about how much of the food you’ll actually eat.

2. Calories:

Calories are the energy you get from food. While it’s tempting to obsess over this number, it’s important to remember that not all calories are created equal. A 100-calorie apple is going to affect your body differently than a 100-calorie candy bar. So, instead of focusing solely on calorie count, think about the quality of the food.

Look for calories that come from whole, nutritious ingredients—vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains—rather than processed sugars and fats.

3. Nutrients:

This part of the label can either make you feel like a health champion or leave you scratching your head.

Here’s a quick cheat sheet:

Total Fat:

Look for foods that are low in saturated and trans fats. These are the "bad" fats that can raise cholesterol and increase your risk of heart disease. Instead, aim for healthy fats like those found in avocados, nuts, and olive oil.

Cholesterol and Sodium:

These two should be kept in check. High levels of sodium (salt) can lead to high blood pressure, while cholesterol can contribute to heart issues. Opt for low-sodium or no-salt-added options when possible.

Carbohydrates:

This includes sugar, fiber, and starch. Focus on foods high in dietary fiber (aim for 3 grams or more per serving) and low in added sugars. High fiber helps with digestion and keeps you full longer, while too much added sugar can lead to weight gain and other health problems.

Protein:

Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth. Check the label to see if you’re getting a good amount from your food, especially if you’re following a specific diet plan like keto or low-carb.

4. Percent Daily Value (%DV):

You’ll notice a bunch of percentages on the right side of the label. These represent the percent of the recommended daily intake of each nutrient that’s in one serving of the food, based on a 2,000-calorie diet.

Here’s a good rule of thumb:

5% or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low.

20% or more is considered high.

So, if you’re trying to limit your sodium intake, you’ll want foods where the sodium %DV is 5% or less per serving.

5. Ingredients List:

The ingredient list is like the food’s backstage pass. Ingredients are listed in order of quantity, so the first few ingredients make up the majority of the product. If sugar is listed first, you can bet the food is high in sugar.

Be on the lookout for hidden sugars, too. Manufacturers often use different names like high-fructose corn syrup, dextrose, or agave nectar to sneak sugar into foods. And avoid products with a long list of ingredients you can’t pronounce—they’re likely full of artificial preservatives and additives.
