Nutrition Facts can be so annoying.

Especially with that bold "Saturated Fat" stuff.

It's really hard to keep up in calories when I start looking at it.

what were you talking about?

nutrition facts rock.

and saturated fat in moderation isnt necesarrily a bad thing. everyone needs a little saturated fat in their diet. i believe.

I hate how they give you per serving size...Its like 24 grams of carbs, or 2grams of fat,but its for a small amount...when you eat and actually get filled up or satisfied, you realize you ate 4 or more times as much as the serving size. (most common in chips and candy)

DUH!

candy is high in high fructose corn syrup which doesn't fill you up but packs a large amount of calories.

chips have tons of fat which is notoriously dense. 9 cals per gram rather than 4 for carbohydrates and protien.

well I know thats the case,im not arguing against that, im just complaing against stating how much it is per serving rather than the entire amount thats packaged.

Re: Nutrition Facts can be so annoying.

ive been eating lean cusine meals pretty much daily. Each are low fat and low calories, and fill you up. Im a big guy too, 6'6", and have lost 13 lbs in a a week and half by just switching to eating low calories low fat meals.

they should probably do both. it helps to know how much is in a small quantity as well as most people will not finish an entire bag or package of something

but single serving type things probably should be.

i would disagree with the implication that chips are single serving.

Re: Nutrition Facts can be so annoying.

for the whole bag, just multiply the serving size by the servings per container.

This is probably the worst thread I've ever started. I'm so ashamed.
