Food Labeling: You cannot measure every morsel that passes your lips, but it is a good idea to measure most foods and beverages until you get a feel for portion sizes. It is a supersized world out there, and most people are surprised to find that their idea of a single serving is actually two or three. If you are into bells and whistles, there are food scales that are pre-programmed with nutritional information, as well as scales that will keep a running total of your daily food and nutrient intake for you. The only tools you really need, however, are a simple and inexpensive gram scale, dry and liquid measuring cups, and idea on reading food labels.

A systematic review and meta-analysis examined the impact of restaurant #menu #labeling on the #calories and #nutrients selected by U.S. #adults in both #laboratory and #real-world settings. The study, which adhered to Cochrane-based criteria, analyzed peer-reviewed research from 1950 to 2014. The analysis revealed no significant changes in calories or nutrients ordered or consumed due to menu labeling in general. However, when specifically looking at laboratory settings, there was a significant reduction of 115.2 calories ordered or consumed. In contrast, menu labeling in real-world settings did not significantly alter the quantity or quality of calories, carbohydrates, total fat, saturated fat, or sodium consumed. This findings of this study could contribute to review #Ontario's #Healthy #Menu #Choices #Act, 2015 and its Regulation 50/16 (HMCA) including requirements with respect to: 1) The display of calorie information for standard food items that are sold or offered for sale (as those standard food items are defined in the HMCA) on menus and tags/labels at the regulated food service premises and on menus that are distributed outside the premises; and 2) The display of: a) The contextual statement regarding average daily caloric requirements on signs and menus; b) Calorie information on signs where food and drink items are self-serve; and c) Calorie information for alcoholic beverages on signs and menus. https://lnkd.in/gThCBcyD
