2. Servings
Before you check the nutrition label of any food, first pay attention to the serving size and the number of serves per package. This will be the yardstick by which all your nutritional values are measured. For example, a carton of orange juice might say it has 110 calories per serve, but if there are two serves per carton, and you know you’re going to drink all of it, you’ll need to double the calories to get an accurate idea of how many you’ll be consuming.
If you’re comparing two products to work out which one is more nutritious, be sure to check that the serving sizes are the same – otherwise you’re not comparing apples with apples.
