Grocery shopping tip: don’t let the front of the package make the decision for you. 👀
“Natural.” “Healthy.” “Low fat.” “Protein packed.” “Made with whole grains.”
These words can sound great, but they don’t tell you the whole story.
Flip the package over and check the Nutrition Facts label and ingredient list. Look at the serving size, protein, fiber, added sugar, and the ingredients used to make the food.
You don’t need to understand every ingredient or spend two hours reading labels. Start small.
Ask yourself:
👉 What’s actually in this?
👉 Does this have a good source of protein or fiber?
👉 Is there a lot of added sugar?
👉 Is this something I’ll feel good eating regularly?
And remember that there is room for convenience foods, treats, and fun foods. Healthy eating doesn’t have to be perfect.
If you’re trying to make nutrition changes but aren’t sure where to start, talk with your primary care provider or connect with an OHW provider for personalized guidance.
Next grocery trip, turn that package around.
