Be it, ‘low carb’, ‘low sodium’, ‘no added sugar’, ‘low fat’, ‘excellent source of fiber’, ‘excellent source of protein’, ‘whole grain’, or ‘non-GMO’ there are so many different types of choices you as a consumer can make regarding your health. These attributes found on packages can add healthful benefits to the diet, and might also seem a bit confusing. If you have questions we love fielding them. If you’re in the beginning or in the middle of changing up your lifestyle, be sure to talk with your healthcare team to make sure it’s the right change for you.

When we as Dietitians look at products we first and foremost have to know that it tastes good because we don’t want you to associate better-for-you foods with cardboard. The second thing we look at is the nutrition facts panel and ask ourselves a few questions like:

• How does it compare nutritionally to others in its category?
• What makes this product unique against the others?
• Is it helpful?
