Reading Food Labels

food label
There it is a typical food label. How can we see if we can eat it?

Look at the Carbohydrate part it says 23 gr, this is not a problem. What you have to look is in the sugar part, in this case it says 1 gr. It means is very low sugar food, usually i choose foods with 5 gr or lower. Normally i eat with 1 or 2 gr like almonds.

So the important part is the sugar in the carbohydrates, not the carbohydrates themselves.

Then if you have a food with very high calories i try not to eat much of it. In this case you have 130 , its not much.
