In today’s Wellness Minute we share some tips to help you understand your food labels better. Always read the fine print – especially serving size. I have personally seen dozens of labels that are misleading. At first glance it seems like a reasonable amount of calories in a small package but then you see that this package really holds 2 or 2.5 servings and then you start doing some math and watch out. I’ve seen 200 calorie snacks turn into 500 calorie meals. Also watch out for misleading dietary fiber counts (look out for soluable and insoluable fiber) and total fat and trans fats.  Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
