  • If you are following a ketogenic diet (keto), you need to restrict your daily carbohydrate intake so that your body enters ketosis.

    For most people, this means less than 50 net carbs per day.

    Net carbs are calculated by subtracting fiber from total carbs.

    Example:
    A product with 26 grams of total carbohydrates and 9 grams of fiber will have 17 grams net carbs. Math equation: 26 - 9 = 17

    IMPORTANT: Net carbs are per serving. Make sure you know your serving size or else you may go over your planned intake and exit ketosis.
  • Added sugars are sugars and syrups that are added to foods or beverages as part of their preparation. They do not include naturally occurring sugars found in milk and fruits. Table sugar and high fructose corn syrup are examples of added sugars.

    Honey and maple syrup are also "added sugars" when added to food products. Per the FDA, they are not considered added sugars when sold as single ingredient products. However, at Fooducate we still consider them added sugars because they are basically the same as table sugar in terms of nutrition.

    The American Heart Association recommends limiting the amount of added sugars you consume to no more than half of your daily discretionary calories allowance.

    For women: 100 calories (25 grams, 6 tsp per day)
    For men: 150 calories (37 grams, 9 tsp per day)

    The FDA is more "generous", the Daily Value for added sugars is 200 calories (50 grams, 12 tsp per day).

    Here at Fooducate, we suggest sticking to the stricter option (only 25 grams per day for women, 37 grams for men).
  • This includes both naturally occurring and added sugars.

    According to the USDA, every man woman and child in the US consumes approximately 80 pounds of caloric sweeteners per year!

    That works out to 25 tsp of sugars per day, or 400 extra calories!
  • Consumption of food containing trans-fat has unequivocally been shown to increase the risk of heart disease by raising levels of LDL (bad cholesterol), and lowering levels of HDL (good cholesterol).

    Why do the nutrition labels on some products say that there are no trans fats, while Fooducate insists there are?

    Unfortunately there is an FDA loop hole here. If the amount of trans-fat in a product is less than half a gram per serving, manufacturers can round it down to 0.

    But even 0.49 grams of trans-fat is bad for you. And don't even get us started on the actual consumption versus the tiny serving size.

    So how do you know if a product does have trans fat in it?

    Look for "partially hydrogenated" oils and fats in the ingredient list.
