Juliette's nutrition tip : Always read the label

Try to get into the habit of reading food labels – and not just the calories. Many products now include nutrition information for fat, saturates, sugar and salt on the front of their packaging to help make it easier to compare different products. Many also show the percentage a typical serving contributes to an adult's Guideline Daily Amount (GDA) for these nutrients, helping you to put them in context of your own diet.

It's great to know exactly what you're eating

Yes, I have started reading labels too. You would be surprised at how often sugar seems to find its way into most foods we buy!

I do try to read food labels as when buying food I like to know what is going inside. Another tip for you - read the labels of bottled water and compare the salt content as some have much higher salt content then others! *Kat
