  • 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).

  • Creamer is a generic name used for all types of thicker milk-like substances that one puts in coffee. But do you really need creamer? Here are some things to consider:

    1. You can try using your regular milk in place of creamer. Milks, whether dairy or nut based, can be less processed than their "creamer" alternatives. Half & half only has two ingredients.

    2. Steer clear of complicated flavors. If you want the taste of gingerbread cookies in your coffee indulge yourself and eat a cookie with it. Want mint? Try a few drops of mint flavoring. French vanilla? Open up your baking pantry and add a drop of baking vanilla.

    3. Never buy creamers with partially hydrogenated oils. Some creamers' FIRST ingredient is PHO, which means the main ingredient is trans fat.

    4. Don't necessarily fear the fat. Milks or creamers with fats are preferable to non-fat ones who may use more additives to keep it flavorful and non-fat.

    5. Pour easy. Take note that the portion size on most creamers is 2 tablespoons.
  • Companies add flavorings to make products taste better. They are created in a lab and the formulations are guarded as trade secrets.

    Flavorings can compensate for flavor loss during processing, substitute for ingredients, lower production costs and increase shelf stability. Natural flavorings are more expensive to source than artificial flavors, but tend to be better received by consumers.

    People sensitive to MSG, vegans, vegetarians and those with allergies should pay special attention to the phrase "natural flavorings" since glutamates, animal products or allergens may be the source of natural flavors. You can always contact the manufacturer for more information.
