If weight loss is one of your health goals, make it a habit to read the nutritional labels on your foods during your grocery shopping.
Look out for the total amount of calories a product contains, and not just for 1 serving (which is typically what’s stated on the label).
Reading nutrition labels will also help you to avoid only reading marketing labels like “high in fibre”, “low fat” or “zero sugar”, as these labels may be misleading. While a product is “high in calcium”, it could also be high in sugar – a detail you may have missed if you hadn’t read the nutrition label.
