products) should a high school student drink?• 3). Name at least two key recommendations
from the Dietary Guidelines. • 4). Name at least three health benefits that you
receive from having a variety of foods in the diet.
• 5). Create an appropriate plate for dinnertime!!!
Nutrition Facts LabelObjectives:• Students will be able to determine how
many calories are in one serving, or from that portion eaten if it is more or less than one serving
• Students will have the ability to determine the grams in a particular nutrient and what percent of the daily value that nutrient contains
Nutrition Facts LabelObjectives (cont.):• Students will be able to assess what percent
of vitamins and minerals (vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron) the product contains and whether it is a good source of those micronutrients
• Students will possess the ability to understand and interpret the footnote on the nutrition facts label that contains information about the percent daily values based on different caloric diets.
Understanding the Label• How many people know how to read a
nutrition facts label?
• Can you tell me specifically what components are listed on a nutrition facts label?
Reading the Label
• Start here
• Serving size• Recommendations;
not necessarily the recommended serving size
• Servings per container• Allows you to
determine how many calories are contained within the product
Reading the Label• Move to this section
• Calories• This shows the
caloric content per serving
• Fat• Will help you to
determine the fat content of the product
Reading the Label• Limit these nutrients
• Total Fat• Different types of fat;
some better than others
• Cholesterol• Only in animal products• Keep below 300 mg
• Sodium• Less than 2,400 mg
• Sugar• Minimal amounts
Reading the Label• Review these
nutrients
• Potassium
• Total Carbohydrates• Dietary fiber, good
for the GI tract• Protein
• Recommendations based on weight
Reading the Label• Percent Daily Values
• Based on either a 2,000, 2,400, or 2,500-calorie diet
• Caloric intake differs in individuals based on different factors
Reading the Label• Micronutrients
• FDA requires the display of these vitamins and minerals
• Helpful to determine what essential components are contained within the product
Reading the Label• Footnote
• Will aid in determination of % daily values
• Shows the recommended intake of several different nutrients
Activity Time!• You will be given three different
nutrition facts labels• The food product is the same, but the
brands are different• In your small groups discuss which label
is the most desirable choice• Now, lets find out what you as a
class thought!
Serving size vs. Portion size
Objectives:•Understand the difference between serving size and portion size•Students to be able to use common items to determine a serving size
Serving size vs. Portion size
• Serving size –• Is the amount of food YOU choose to eat
at any one time• Portion size – • Is the amount of food recommended by
education materials i.e.. Dietary Guidelines or MyPyramid
Portion Distortion: Then and Now
• Portion Distortion – • Misleading impression of the proper
amount of food
