This is my take on how to read the Nutrition Facts Label on food products. I hope this video will help those who don’t know how to read it (I was one). Enjoy the video!
DISCLAIMER + NOTES: Okay this video was made BASED on a US FDA 2k calorie diet. It does not recommend a 2k diet for everyone, because everyone are different, based on consumption, weight etc. So choose accordingly, in fact here’s a website to help you out on the rightful amount of nutrients calories, etc www.mypyramid.gov
In the video I’m pretty sure i said “BASED”, but somebody pointed out I said otherwise. So please, everytime you hear me say US FDA 2000 calorie diet, I meant to say BASED on that. Props to PrepeiNaSasPw for pointing it out!

“The US FDA allows rounding error”, ha ha it came an unexpected but true statement
When I buy bulk …
When I buy bulk foods at a health food store, they often have nutrition facts on the bin.
And if you get like pomegranate juice (to drink sparingly, it’s pretty high in sugar), then it’s in a bottle.

Hi nice video. I …
Hi nice video. I would like to know about servings and how it takes part in food labels.
Yes I’m aware of …
Yes I’m aware of the situation that a person changes their calorie diet accordingly, but I guess I failed to include that in the video. In my future installments I’ll try to incorporate that in it & place a disclaimer on the description of this video. Much thanks for pointing this very true fact out!

hello
You are right …
hello
You are right, I did notice that my voicing was unclear at times during the video & when i said the US “recommends” a 2k calorie diet, it was meant to say BASED on a US FDA 2000 calorie recommended diet (In fact I even said “based” a couple times if you listen carefully). continued…

thanks for the vid, very helpful
AHHHHHHHHH!!! You …
AHHHHHHHHH!!! You keep on saying that the US FDA recommends 2000 calorie diet…READ THAT AGAIN. You are reading it wrong. I think it’s because your English isn’t that good, dude.
Okay, you don’t …
Okay, you don’t know what you are talking about and that is dangerous. The FDA does NOT recommend a 2000 calorie diet. It simply lists what percentage of your daily intake each thing represents based on a 2000 calorie diet. You might need more or less, and it depends on your weight.

Yeah just letting …
Yeah just letting you know, generally sit-ups is not a good idea, because it puts a lot of strain on the neck. So if you want to do an ab workout, try laying flat on your back and lift up your legs back and forth.

Prediabetic isn’t …
Prediabetic isn’t bad. It’s not yet diabetic, so it means he can obtain a regular glucose level as long as he stops eating so much bad food. I used to do sit ups, but my stomach is already flat. lol. So now I run and work out my arms with curls and kickbacks. And yes, it’s better to be underweight than overweight.
Hi,
Thanks for the …
Hi,
Thanks for the kind words and compliments! The middle section where I was adding up the grams was just to show that everything in the middle section, the carbs, proteins, fats etc make up the total grams in the servings, and to show that sometimes it doesn’t add up to exactly what the label tells you. Off by 1 or so grams is acceptable by US FDA standards. Just letting people know in case they might get confused when adding up their grams per serving.

I’m sorry to hear …
I’m sorry to hear your dad is prediabetic. But I’m glad to hear someone has the same problem as me.
You have to admit though, it’s not THAT BAD being skinny. I rather be skinny than fat any day. ^_^
But… we definitely don’t want to stay like this forever. Please feel free to tell me your working out methods. Any tips are gladly accepted. I’ve been runing and doing sit-ups a lot and I can see a six pack beginning to form. Try it! byebye
Also, joekarim is …
from years of fatty foods and is prediabetic . Ugh. Now he has to “diet” (even though he’s underweight) to bring his cholesterol and glucose level down. That’s terrible.
Also, joekarim is right when he says you can still have negative health impacts from an unhealthy lifestlye. My whole family is underweight (genes), but my dad has an extremely high cholesterol
Hey, I’m like that …
Hey, I’m like that too. I’ve been underweight my entire life. We just have a fast metabolism. You can get it checked by the doc if you want. I went in to do bloodwork (for a diff reason) and found out what I already knew: my T3 levels were pretty high (T3 and T4 have to do with metabolism). I have tried working out to gain muscle weight. It’s working a bit. I still eat healthily and exercise though. It’s great because I can walk up flights of stairs without running out of breath anymore.
“If you eat …
“If you eat something like this, you’re gonna have to be like that dude over there.” lol. Also, what are you adding vertically in the middle section? Are you adding the total fat and carbohydrates? The information was quite helpful. Thanks a lot. You have a new fan!
