Be very careful if you consider packaging that says low fat, it may mean that you can eat more! If marketing has ever been successful, it’s in the ‘low fat packaging’ market. It often loudly prints “100 calories”, or “low fat”. That gives a false sense of security that you’re doing something healthy for yourself. The reality is that you need to look at the nutrition label. Even if they are just 100 calories, that doesn’t mean that they have any fiber, or aren’t high in salt.
Try to stick to a clean eating food plan. A plan that includes whole foods including vegetables, real fruits, lean protein, whole grains and water.
Don’t be romanced by a successful marketing campaign that tells you what’s best for you. Investigate and decide if a pre-packaged food is cost-effective and nutritional for yourself and your family
