Reading Food Labels Quickly

Food labels can be overwhelming, but you don’t need to understand every number. Focusing on three key points will help you make faster, healthier choices.

• Protein: Aim for higher protein options to keep you fuller for longer.
• Fibre: Look for 3g or more per serving to support digestion and satiety.
• Added sugar: Choose products with little to no added sugar to avoid empty calories.

Ignore flashy marketing on the front of the package. The truth is in the small print on the back — and once you get used to scanning for these three numbers, it becomes second nature.
