How to Calculate Fat Percentage from a food label

Excuse me, what does this mean exactly???

DSC01303DSC01305

“Food labels indicate the percentage daily value provided by fat, which corresponds to the percentage of the fat a serving of food gives you compared to the total amount of fat you should eat a day, based on a 2,000-calorie diet.”

However, food labels do not indicate what percentage of the calories come from fat. You can calculate this percentage yourself by following a few easy steps.
Step 1

Locate the calories from fat on the label and divide that by the TOTAL calories of the serving.  In this case of the sausage 110 calories are from fat and 170 is the total calories.  110 divided by 170 equals .64703…Drop the numbers behind the first two digits and you are left with .64

Step 2:
Multiply by 100 to obtain a percentage. With the sausage example, you can simply drop the digits behind the 64 and multiply the number .64 by 100, which gives you 64 percent. This means that 64 percent of the calories found in the serving of sausage comes from fat.  

So how do the manufacturers get away with placing 50% less fat on their labels?  It’s deceiving isn’t it? Our USDA allows this kind of deception.  You have to realize the USDA is NOT on the side of the consumer but rather allows deception based on economics.

Think you’re drinking 2% milk??? In reality that milk is more like 35% fat.  Do the calculations, the numbers don’t lie.

Most of us carry our cell phones with us in today’s lifestyle.  Most cell phones have a calculator on them.  Pull out your phone and access that calculator.  The division sign is the / or forward slash. 

I like to have about 30-35% as my guide for fat intake.

Most of the time excess carbohydrates will pack the fat on to your body faster than good fats will.   we have Bios Life Slim to help us with metabolizing those carbs.

Good fats like nuts, seeds and avocados, olive oil, flax oil, grape seed oil, these are the recommended kinds of fat to use.

Hope you enjoyed today’s little lesson.  Thanks for stopping by.
