How do I read and understand a nutrition label?
assistant
To read and understand a nutrition label, start by looking at the serving size and the servings per container. The serving size will indicate how much of the item you should eat in order to get an accurate representation of the information on the label. Then, look at the calories, fat, and sugar contents, and check to see if the food contains any artificial ingredients or preservatives. Consider the percentages of the recommended daily value for Total Fat, saturated fat, sodium, and dietary fiber. Finally, read the list of ingredients to see if you recognize and familiarize yourself with them.
