- Most food products have a Nutrition Facts label.
- A good rule of thumb for utilizing this label is the 5/20 rule.
- Under this rule, less healthy nutrients should be kept at 5% DV or less.
- Healthier nutrients, however, should be 20% DV or greater.
- Following this guideline can help you make healthier choices about nutrition.
You’ve probably noticed a nutrition label on the back of the package or can for many of your favorite foods.
