The calories, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrate and protein are customized to calorie distribution and are adjusted according to weight goal (gain or lose) Note: the lowest calorie recommendation is 1,200 calories per day.

Something to Do:

Food labels contain the amount of calories and nutrients per serving of food. To achieve weight goals, subtract the calories and grams of fat on the labels of food eaten from the calories and grams of fat in Your Nutrition Facts as a maximum recommended daily amount.

For foods not labeled, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, the calories and grams of fat are low as long as you don’t add fat or deep fry these nutritious foods., Joanne Larsen, MS RD LD
