Assignment #11: Food Labels—A Quick and Easy Assignment


Using the food label guide in your text, or, by carefully examining a label—complete the following:

1)      Pick a favorite snack food that you have recently eaten/currently eating

2)     Using the label info on the package, tell us the nutritional information per serving

3)     Honestly determine the actual amount you ate (as if anyone eats a few Pringles and closes the can), then, using that amount, determine and report your actual consumption of each of the nutrients listed on the label.

4)     For both #2 and #3, provide the information that is on the label, even if it is zero.  For example, if there is zero protein, provide that information as well.
