What is the worst thing to watch out for, on nutrition labels, when shopping for processed foods?
I've always puzzled over this, but since I started reading through the "Eat This, Not That" webpage, to see what items are best to choose when eating out, I'm even more confused.
He will talk about the calorie content in one entry, then the sodium content in another, then the saturated fat in yet another.
I was wondering which was the worst of all three though, to watch out for when buying processed-food groceries? Is it calories, saturated fat, or sodium? And why?
Hydrogenated oils, aka trans fat. If they are listed in the ingredient there WILL be trans fat in the food even though it may say 0g. They are only required to put an amount if there is more than .5g of trans fat in the food.
High fructose corn syrup and modified cornstarch
Try to keep saturated fat as low as you can, non-fat or low-fat dairy is always the way to go! Also white meat is lean (low saturated fat) or fish stick with those instead of getting ham or steak. Also beans, lentils, split peas, buckwheat, whole grains etc are all great things that are naturally low in saturated fat.
Calories aren't the most important thing but sometimes you may want to take it into consideration. You may want to go for a lower calorie bread which may be white bread but the whole grain or sprouted bread that contains more calories will be much more beneficial to your health than the white bread.
Eat this not that doesn't always seem like a great source for info on how to eat healthy. A lot of times I feel like the alternative is just a better option than the worse one not necessarily better for your health.
Another rule I like to have for myself is if I have more boxes of processed food in my cart than I have fresh fruits and veggies than I rethink my purchases.
