CHECKING LABELS
It is important to check the labels on the food and drinks you buy to be aware of the amount of fat, sugar and salt that you are consuming. This is particularly important on the regular foods you buy as it adds up.
As you may have heard you can't just go by the low fat or low sugar labels as the manufacturers often raise the level of something else in it to overcompensate for taste and keep people coming back for more.
As a general guide on food and drink items I try to keep under the following levels per 100g:
sugar under 15g
fat under 5g
salt under 400mg
It's up to you however how strict you wish to be as you lose or maintain your weight.
