See more clearly with The What's Inside Guide

The What's Inside Guide is invaluable to anyone who needs to keep a close eye on a particular nutrient in their diet, be it calories, sugars, fat, saturates or salt.
The information found on your labels can be used in a number of ways.

Count calories, sort salt, suss sugar, face fat

Let's take calories, for example. If you're counting them, you may decide to tot up the percentages for calories – or the number of calories – for foods you eat as you go through the day as a rough guide (but don't forget to count the calories in your drinks and snacks too).

And what about salt? Many of us are worried about the amount of salt we eat and want to stay within the GDA of 6g per day - so your labels are a great way to help you to keep an eye your salt intake.

However you use it, the main thing is to find whatever works best for you - that way, you're much more likely to stick with it and keep things under control.
