Labels

I hope you are able to stay on track and really get a great start to this healthy journey.  One thing I want you to remember as we are eating more whole foods and counting calories is to READ THE LABEL!!!!!  I know I have been a little lax in that area recently and I need to do better.  A while back Justin bought a box of granola.  It was even in an earthy looking box.  So, it must be healthy, right?  I had been eating it for my snacks the for few weeks and really liked it.  As I went to read the label I realized it was 300 calories and 9 grams of fat in 1/2 a cup!  Well we all know that is TOO MUCH to be just snacking on all day long.  I was wondering why it tasted so good :)  So as a reminder, read the labels.  Also pay attention to serving size and even measure things out the first few times so you know exactly what size you are looking for instead of guessing.  We often take bigger portions than the actual serving size and that adds calories we aren’t even aware that we are eating.  So read labels measure out the serving size and keep track of the calories.  Keep up the good work!
