🔍 Decode Your Food: How to Read Nutrition Labels! 🏷️🥫

Not all “healthy” foods are what they seem. Learning to read nutrition labels puts YOU in control of your health! 💪

Here’s what to look for:

✅ Serving Size
Always start here—nutrition facts are based on ONE serving, not the whole package.

✅ Calories
Check if it's appropriate for your needs. Don't forget to multiply by the number of servings!

✅ Sugar
Aim for less than 5g per 100g. Watch for added sugars like corn syrup or dextrose.

✅ Fats
Look for lower saturated fat and avoid trans fats.

✅ Fiber
More is better! Fiber helps digestion and keeps you full.

✅ Ingredients List
Shorter is usually better. If you can’t pronounce it, think twice. 😉

📦 Know what you’re eating—choose food that fuels your goals!

🍽️ Portion Control: The Secret to Healthy Eating! 🧠✨

Did you know that how much you eat is just as important as what you eat? Portion control helps you enjoy your favorite foods without overeating—and it’s easier than you think!

🔹 Use Your Hands to Measure
👊 Protein = size of your palm
✋ Veggies = size of your hand
👈 Carbs = size of your cupped hand
👍 Fats = size of your thumb

🔹 Eat Slowly & Mindfully
Give your brain time to catch up with your stomach. Put your fork down between bites and truly savor your meal.

🔹 Don’t Eat from the Bag!
Always serve snacks in a bowl or on a plate to avoid mindless munching.

🎯 Remember: You can eat everything you love—just in the right portions.
