Read before you eat
When shopping, read food labels to make sure you are buying foods that are low in fat and cholesterol, but high in fiber and other essential nutrients. Remember that the labels are based on one serving size. If you eat two servings, you double the calories and all the nutrients.
This particular food is not high in calories, but half of its fat comes from trans and saturated fats. Also, it contains no fiber — found in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains — which aids digestion. Adults should consume 20-35 grams of fiber per day.
